context_page_description: 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 information is drawn.
  Darrowby is a composite of Thirsk, Richmond, Leyburn and Middleham. Askrigg, in Wensleydale, 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".
context_section_description: 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 (represented by St Mary and St John's Church, Hardraw) is a few hundred feet from the surgery, beyond the small market cross. Everyone at Skeldale attends Sunday service when possible.
  The local pub, the Drovers Arms, is on the opposite side of Trengate, a little further up the hill. (The Drovers was made out to be near the church in the early series, as evidenced in the episode "The Name of the Game".) 
  The Darrowby Hotel and Drovers Arms are among the inns in the village. 
  The Plaza is the local cinema.
  Mr Edwards' carpentry shop is 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.
  Sandra's ladies' hair stylist is directly across from the surgery, a few doors up from Roland Partridge's cottage.
  The Darrowby constabulary has consisted of P.C. Claude Blenkiron ("Nothing Like Experience" and "Be Prepared"), P.C. Smith ("Golden Lads and Girls"), P.C. Leach ("Pups, Pigs and Pickle"), P.C. Goole (1983 and 1990 Christmas Specials and "Mending Fences") and P.C. Hicks ("Food For Thought").
