The Woolpack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Woolpack is a fictional public house on the popular ITV soap opera Emmerdale. It has played host to many of the soap's storylines and is the focus of the programme. The Woolpack is where people meet up for a drink and to talk. Some of the biggest storylines of Emmerdale have involved the pub. The 1993 plane crash saw the Woolpack wine bar demolished trapping many people inside and paralysing Chris Tate from the legs down. It was also involved in the storm in 2003 where the chimney was struck by lightning and fell through the roof causing a window to collapse and fall on Tricia Dingle. The first Woolpack was the Falcon Inn in Arncliffe. When the outdoor scenes were moved to Esholt in 1976 the Commercial Inn was chosen as the new Woolpack.
The first landlords were Amos Brearly and Henry Wilks.
The current landladies are sisters Diane Sugden and Val Lambert.
The current employees are:
Bartenders: Paul Lambert, Chas Dingle
