A Yorkshire village just over an hour from Leeds has been transformed into a 1940s village for a new TV show.
The village of Grassington near Skipton has been taken back in time this week as camera crews descend once again for the filming of a new series of All Creatures Great and Small.
The period drama, now in its fourth series, is currently filming in the Yorkshire Dales and crews have reimagined Grassington into the fictional town of Darrowby.
As a result, tourists have descended on the village - some even coming from outside the UK to see the period drama being made firsthand.
Filming has been taking place at the local Devonshire Pub, which has metamorphosed into the Drovers Arms.
Owner Carl Anderson told the BBC: "Grassington has always been a tourist area but since the filming we've not just seen people coming from the UK.
"Throughout the last summer there wasn't a week that went by that we didn't have an American family staying with us and we get people from Denmark, New Zealand, Canada so it's really stretched quite far."
He also added that the pub's exterior had been so transformed that even some of the village regulars had struggled to find it, saying: "They take everything down outside and we get people driving past thinking they've missed us."
However, the pub is not the only location to be reimagined for the filming process. Nearby Hutch crafts and design shop has been dressed up as Higgins Bakery, whilst local bakery Walker's has become Darrowby Ironmongers.
Elsewhere, a private residential home has been reimagined as Skeldale House, with fiberglass columns, wooden railings and a new front door all installed to make the building look more in keeping with its new 1940s settings.
Owner Paul said: "It's been fascinating watching Grassington being transported back in time.
"It's good for the village. Even when the film crew have gone people come to visit and see where it has been filmed."
There's just no stopping these sisters, as The Matcha Spot announces second site.
Yes, it's another matcha story but we've got to say, we're very excited about this one.
Let's back track to last year when The Matcha Spot popped up in The Moor and made a name for themselves for selling the most wonderful green creations in the city.
Fast forward to February, they opened up their first permanent spot in the city centre on Campo Lane which was a resounding success.

Their focus is serving good quality matcha in all shapes and sizes, our personal favourite being the blondie matcha that is the perfect afternoon pick me up.
It's become such a success, that The Matcha Spot sisters are now opening a second site in Sheffield just months after opening their first.
The Matcha Spot 2.0 will be located on Ecclesall Road and will be opening next month, so we really don't have long to wait.

Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, The Matcha Spot said: "Our second home is here! Thank you SO much for all your support!! We’re so excited to be opening our second location for you to get your matcha fix…..
"281 Ecclesall Road. Coming soon."
We couldn't be happier for the girls, and we couldn't think of anyone more deserving of the success. We'll see you on the opening date ready and raring to get our hands on a white chocolate and raspberry matcha.
Sheffield has been crowned the best city in the UK for students
Clementine Hall
It's good news for students in Sheffield, as the city has been crowned the very best in the UK for university life.
I mean, we can't say we're exactly surprised.
The news comes from a new report by Edumentors that reveals which UK cities offer new students cheap rent, safety, and quality teaching.
The research examined 40 UK cities to find which offer the best university life, tracking monthly rent rates from SpareRoom's data, crime rates from government records, and entertainment costs.
It also looked at how easy it is to get around and what students think of their teaching based on the National Student Survey. Each city received scores from 0 to 100 across all categories, with higher scores indicating a better student experience.
Sheffield got the coveted top spot, undergrads here can find dorm rooms and shared flats for around £500, about £300 less than what students pay in Oxford or Cambridge.
Teaching quality also came up trumps, with nearly 9 out of 10 students saying they're happy with their courses at the University of Sheffield.
Coming in second place was Sunderland followed by Lancaster, Coventry and Aberdeen.
The higher education expert from Edumentors commented on the study: "It's not just Oxford and Cambridge ranking low; London and Edinburgh finish at the bottom too, despite having some of the world's most famous universities.
"But UK universities in general offer quality teaching across the board, so opting for budget cities is actually smarter for most students. You get a similar education while having money left over for a proper flat, going out with friends, and enjoying actual student life."
