Harry Styles fans are flocking to his home town for a new 'Harry's Village Walking Tour'. 'Harries' consistently descend upon Holmes Chapel to follow the footsteps of their idol.
The village has produced its own map of the two mile tour which the local railway station ticket officer gives away for free. The ‘Harry’s home village’ walking tour takes fans past W Mandeville bakery, where he worked as a teen, and Fortune City Chinese - where he once took Taylor Swift.
Inside the bakery, there is a life-sized photo of Harry, who is about to finish his world tour, and fans can buy wooden spoons, sweets and aprons as keepsakes. Fans also can visit his childhood home and sign their name at Twemlow Viaduct – where Harry, 29, once signed his name in One Direction's biopic This is Us.
