Where is the aidensfield arms in heartbeat

Sgt Oscar Blaketon. The Aidensfield Arms is in the centre of the village and the only public house in Aidensfield. Used as a 'local' by many of Heartbeat' s characters, many storylines revolve around it and most of the later episodes usually end in there.

The pub also accomodates guests with Bed and Breakfast, and starts doing meals to increase revenue when Lord Ashfordly puts up the rent. George Ward owns the license to sell alcohol until the end of Series Seven until his niece Gina Ward takes it over after his death. Blaketon moves into the pub and helps to run it with Gina. This was usually to get Bernie to fill up his truck with petrol and also rope him into his latest money-making scheme, using the garage as a base for his scams and operations.

Often the police would sometimes visit to make enquiries about their investigations. The exterior of the garage is quite plain with blue wooden doors and hand painted signs, the signs originally read 'Mostyn's Garage', then 'Aidensfield Garage.

The garage did get revamped by Vernon Scripps, making the garage looking futuristic but Bernie Scripps didn't like it and ordered it to be removed.

Inside the garage is space for one or two cars and the ocasional motorbike, the garage also possesed a fairly small office with a phone for file storage. Attached to the garage is the Chapel of Rest for Bernie's undertaking business. BMC Recovery Vehicle - this vehicle was used by Bernie to tow any vehicles to the garage and often it was parked out of sight round the back of the garage or on show on the forecourt.

Austin Princess Hearse - Referred to as 'the hearse', it's used by Bernie Scripps for his undertaking business as well as his personal vehicle. Frequently seen doing other work around the village including being used to run the Greengrass Scollhool of Motoring, to carry Christmas Trees for Vernon Scripps and even carrying David Stockwell, dressed as Santa Claus, organised by his aunt, Peggy Armstrong. Austin A35 - A green Austin A35 could always be seen either in or around the garage although it was never mentioned, it is just assumed that it is one of Bernie's vehicles he lets people hire when their vehicle is in for repairs.

We only see this when a visiting friend of Oscar Blaketon hires it. George had an up-and-down friendship with Claude Jeremiah Greengrass; the two were sometimes very near friends but often became enemies in Greengrass' money-making schemes. George was implicated in Greengrass's poaching, often buying pheasants and fish which Claude had poached from Lord Ashfordly's estate. George departed Aidensfield, and the show, at the end of series six, leaving Gina to run the pub by herself.

It was reported that, unable to continue working due to illness, he had moved to Sidmouth to be cared for by Gina's aunt Mary. Some time later, his off-screen death was reported.

Gina returned home from his funeral in the opening episode of the eighth series. Tricia Penrose as Georgina "Gina" Ward — Spirited Liverpudlian, landlady of the Aidensfield Arms. The tearaway niece of publican George Ward, Gina was sent to live in Aidensfield with her uncle as a condition of her probation after having been convicted of receiving stolen goods.

She quickly fitted in to local life, assisting her uncle with running the pub and dropping her previous rebellious ways. She became the licensee of the pub after the death of her uncle. Gina has been unlucky in love, and has had a string of failed romances. The great love of her life was the now-deceased policeman PC Phil Bellamy, but she had a warm relationship with village bobby PC Mike Bradley in the seventh series, and she also dated the much younger tearaway lad Steve Adams in the same series.

She had a passionate love affair with Irishman Andy Ryan, but when she found out that he was married, she broke off their relationship. Gina also dated the much younger PC Tom Nicholson in the eleventh series.
