Archive film of life in Harrogate district returns for extra showings
Harrogate on Film returns to the Odeon cinema in March after two sold-out screenings last October.
The additional showings are a second chance to see a 90-minute programme put together from footage held at the Yorkshire Film Archive in York.
The film was commissioned by the Harrogate's Civic Society and FIlm Society. It includes a mix of amateur and professional footage, featuring rare shots from the opening of the Odeon Cinema and the filming of an Agatha Christie movie in the 1970s.
Audiences will also view clips from the 1937 and 1953 Coronation celebrations, the Great Yorkshire Show, the Harrogate Spa in 1930s and rail-travel in the 1960s.
The film combines footage from major events with scenes from everyday life. A sneak peak is available through the Yorkshire Film Archive website.
Stuart Holland, chair of Harrogate Civic Society, said:
There will be two showings on March 27, at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
Tickets are available through the Harrogate Film Society website, with discounts for Harrogate Film Society members, as well as members of Harrogate and Knaresborough Civic Societies.
