A selection of images and film footage featuring Yorkshire, Wakefield and Ossett, drawn from online archives.
A royal visit to Ossett in 1912.
Image sourced using Wakefield Museums Archive online.
In addition to physical archives maintained by libraries and museums, the internet is a great source of content which can be easily added to Yarn stories. Here's a selection...
You can add your own content or link to that which others have uploaded to the web. Yarn creates a direct link back to the original source, so there is no copyright infringement (just don't copy and paste text!)
This film was created by members of Ossett Academy's Filmclub.
This 1975 drama, available through vimeo, was mostly filmed in Horbury (the story was written by an Ossett local). The setting has been artificially aged to make it appear as it might have in the 193os, when the story is set.
