Despite his accent and love of Wensleydale cheese, the Aardman Animations character Wallace is not a Yorkshireman as an article said (Grand day out for Aardman fans at new V&A show, 11 February, p3). The house he shares with his long-suffering canine sidekick, Gromit, is in Wigan (historically in the county of Lancashire), and the series creator, Nick Park, has said the characters were inspired by his own Lancastrian childhood.
