A rare 16mm print of the 1945 documentary featurette "We of the West Riding", made by the Beverley-born filmmaker Ken Annakin (1914 - 2009), is donated by his widow to the UK's National Media Museum by his widow, Pauline. Reporter Lisa Adlam speaks to Mrs. Annakin and to 70-year-old Pat Hillam who, as a four-year-old, appeared briefly in the film. Film historian Tony Earnshaw places the film in context.
