Darrowby

Darrowby is a fictional village in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England, which was used by James Herriot as the setting for his surgery in his book It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet. The book inspired the television series All Creatures Great and Small, from which the following information is drawn. Darrowby is a composite of Thirsk, Richmond, Leyburn and Middleham. Thirsk has a public house named The Darrowby Inn to recognise this. It was Askrigg, in Wensleydale, however, that was used for filming scenes set in Darrowby in the series.

In the first three series of the television series, the surgery's phone number was "Darrowby 85"; for the final four series it became "Darrowby 385".

The Skeldale House veterinary surgery of central characters Siegfried Farnon and James Herriot is on Trengate. Although the vets are based here, they travel all over the Dales.

Darrowby Church is a few hundred feet from the surgery, beyond the small market cross. Everyone at Skeldale attends Sunday service.

The local pub, the Drovers Arms, is located on the opposite side of Trengate, a little further up the hill. (The Drovers was made out to be located near the church in the early series, as evidenced in the episode "The Name of the Game".)

The Darrowby Hotel is the only inn in the village.

The Plaza is the local cinema.

Mr Edwards' carpentry shop is located on Market Street.

Bob Howell's Music Shop is where Siegfried buys Tristan the acoustic guitar he had been admiring.

The village butcher is A. Bainbridge and Sons.
