Meet the enterprising villagers of Thixendale

9:46am Tuesday 29th January 2013

Artist David Hockney may have put Thixendale on the map, but Matt Clark meets some villagers looking to reap the rewards of living in a great place and showing lots of enterprise The conversation turns to last night’s Corrie in the Cross Keys Inn. But chatting about telly programmes is a pretty recent thing in Thixendale, because this village nestles deep in the Yorkshire wolds and until a relay transmitter was built in the late 1990s you couldn’t get a picture.
