Building work has begun to create Harrogate's first mosque, which could be open in time for Ramadan next Spring.
The building on the corner of Tower Street and Belford Road has stood derelict for several years but Harrogate Islamic Association is bringing it back into use.
Around 100 Muslim worshippers, from a diverse range of backgrounds, currently meet in the Quakers’ Friends Meeting House in Harrogate and Chain Lane Community Hub in Knaresborough.

Thankfully, the collapse hasn't damaged the integrity of the walls, leaving workers able to press on with repairing the roof.
HIA member Zahed Amanullah said:
Harrogate Islamic Association will be posting updates about the project on its Twitter account.
