Historic footage of Harrogate and Knaresborough to be shown at Odeon
Films showing archived footage of Harrogate and Knaresborough are set to be screened for the public next month.
Yorkshire Film Archive will show the specially curated films at the Odeon cinema in Harrogate on September 19.
It will feature clips showing Harrogate in the 1930s, the Knaresborough bed race in the 1970s and rare footage of the Odeon being opened.
The collection of amateur, professional and television clips will also show the area's film heritage, including news footage of the filming of Agatha starring Dustin Hoffman in the late 1970s.
