A 90-minute programme of archive footage of the Harrogate district has once again packed out the Odeon.

Two extra screenings were fully booked yesterday after tickets for September's original viewings were also snapped up.

It means almost 1,000 people have watched the curated footage now.

The programme, which features clips held at the Yorkshire Film Archive in York, was commissioned by Harrogate’s Civic Society and FIlm Society.

It shows Harrogate and Knaresborough celebrating coronations in 1937 and 1953, the opening of the Odeon Cinema and Dustin Hoffman in Harrogate during filming of the 1979 film Agatha.

It also features the Harrogate Spa in 1930s, local railways in 1962, including the Ripon line that closed six years later, Knaresborough's zoo and aquarium in 1968, the Knaresborough bed race in 1977, Disability Action Yorkshire, the Harrogate flower show and the Great Yorkshire Show, including a visit by the Queen in 1957.

Some of the highlights are available through the Yorkshire Film Archive website.
