The main stipulation for where the music video would be filmed was that Mr Temple – who lived in the Quantocks – could "walk to work".
"The producer didn't think it would be such a big hit. He lived locally and said it would need to be filmed close to where he lives," Mr Walls said.
Speaking to the BBC in 2021, Mr Temple said: "Little did we know that it was going to be on Top of the Pops for months.
"I was kind of embarrassed by the length it [the video] went on, because it's not my finest hour as a film-maker."
Founded by Huguenot refugees – protestants who fled France and Wallonia (southern Belgium) from the 16th to the 18th century – Holford's silk mills once buzzed with industry, powered by the Holford River.
But nestled in the Quantock Hills, the mill fell into disrepair in 1860 after two fires destroyed it.
It is now ivy-clad and close to woodlands purchased by Paul McCartney – donated to League against Cruel Sports – as a sanctuary for wildlife.
