A new film showing Huddersfield’s towns and villages from the air is to have a free screening at Huddersfield Town Hall.

The film made by Pathways Productions is an aerial look at many towns and villages across Huddersfield and Kirklees, along with historical facts about each place.

The film will be shown free at Huddersfield Town Hall on Monday, November 11 at 7pm and Dewsbury Town Hall on Thursday, November 14 at 7pm.

It will be released on Friday, November 1 on the Pathways Productions website and there is already a five-minute teaser promotional film about it on the website now.

The film has been made by cameraman, producer, script writer and presenter Peter Thornton, his wife Judith and drone operator Mark Sykes.

 

 

The film begins at Castle Hill and goes inside Huddersfield Town Hall before flying around the town, calling at Huddersfield Parish Church, Byram Arcade and St George’s Square.

Tolson Museum, Greenhead Park and Huddersfield Narrow Canal in Slaithwaite are explored before the drone hovers over Almondbury.

Other Huddersfield areas include Golcar along with Milnsbridge and Longwood with their huge rail viaducts shown from above, before moving on to Marsden and Standedge Tunnel.

It’s then out to Scissett and Clayton West – including its heritage railway called Whistlestop Valley – Skelmanthorpe, Emley Moor transmitting mast and Shelley.

Scammonden and Dean Head reservoirs along with Holme Moss all look striking from the air and further afield the drone visits Oakwell Hall, Hartshead and Dewsbury.

The film runs for 95 minutes and is available on DVD and USB hard drive as well as streaming through the website http://www.pathwaysvideo.co.uk
