Hickory House is a British television programme aimed at pre-school children. It was produced by Granada Television from 1973 to 1977, and broadcast on weekday lunchtimes.
Each programme was usually hosted by a pair of presenters, most often including Alan Rothwell. The setting was a normal house, but in Hickory House, household objects were brought to life through puppetry. The puppet characters included Humphrey Cushion and Dusty Mop. The puppets were created by Barry Smith. [1]
All 129 episodes survive in Granada's archive, although none has yet been released on DVD.[ citation needed ]
