Sleepy, small, and surprising are the words you would use to describe Waddington.
Just over an hour's drive from Manchester city centre, the Lancashire settlement is certainly on the modest size: Only 1,000 people call this place home. That's also what leads to it quiet nature.
But what is surprising about Waddington is what happened here a little over 30 years ago, reports Lancs Live. A mysterious sign inside a wooden frame attached to a lamppost reads: "Waddington, The Television Village, 1990". It tells the heart-warming story of this little Ribble Valley village's brush with stardom.
