The find is not the first treasure trove of forgotten film to be found in Yorkshire.

Earlier this year the Yorkshire Film Archive launched an interactive exhibition of previously unseen footage from the region’s history.

Included was Bradford under snow in the early part of the last century and a visit to Billy Smart’s Circus in Halifax in the 1950s.

The images are among more than seven hours of footage from West Yorkshire which have been pulled together to be released online. The new footage adds to more than 120 films already online.
