Postman Pat sets saved from destruction go on display
The sets used to create children's TV favourite Postman Pat have gone on show after being saved from destruction by The Show 's animators.
The sets, which depict the rolling lanes of Pat's fictional Lake District home Greendale, were in storage, but had to find a new home or be scrapped.
Animators MacKinnon & Saunders, who made The Show 's last series, persuaded a film archive to step in to help.
Chief executive Peter Saunders said he was relieved they had been saved.
Postman Pat has been a favourite with audiences since the stop-motion animation was first broadcast on The Bbc in 1981.
Originally created by, later series were made by Manchester animators Cosgrove Hall Films (CHF) and subsequently Altrincham-based Mackinnon & Saunders.
Mr Saunders said the sets they and CHF used, for episodes between 2013 and 2017, had incorporated parts of Wood's originals, but had expanded Pat's world to include a nearby town, Pencaster.
" After production was completed, The Beautiful miniature sets and props were carefully packed and moved to a storage facility in Stalybridge, " He Said .
However, he added that the " iconic village of Greendale was served notice this year".
" No longer required for filming, all The Models were to be destroyed unless a new home could be found for them. "
He Said when he heard of the " perilous situation" he contacted, which is based at Sale's Waterside Arts Centre, " to ask whether their animation archive could come to Greendale's rescue".
" The Teams immediately offered to help and, thanks to their Hard Work and dedication, many of The Models featured in this uniquely British piece of popular culture have been saved for Future Generations to enjoy. "
The sets, which include Pat's cottage, The Village school and Pencaster Square, will now Go On display alongside models of Pat, his cat Jess and other characters from The Show as part of an exhibition at the centre.
Creative Industries Trafford co-ordinator Richard Evans said as they " already had some puppets from The Show in the archive" his team " just jumped at the chance to be the new custodians" of the " beautifully preserved" sets.
" Knowing how Much Loved this television series was and still is. . we have created this exhibition especially to share these rarely-seen sets, puppets and props with the shows' fans, both big and small. "
Postman Pat : Welcome to Greendale runs at the Waterside Arts Centre until 8 January 2022.
