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."

An all-you-can-eat pizza restaurant with no menu is opening in Sheffield this month
Clementine Hall
A restaurant where you can dive into unlimited pizza is opening in Sheffield very soon.
Like pizza? Then you're going to love this.
Introducing Slice Club, a brand-new restaurant concept that's opening in Sharrow Vale this month.
The idea has been 14 years in the making, and it's unlike anything you'll find in the city.
For £17.50 per person, guests can enjoy all-you-can-eat pizza, with fresh pizzas circulating around the room and served straight to the table.
There’s no menu or individual ordering, you simply take what you fancy, and a light on the table lets the team know when you’d like to pause or have more.

And it doesn't stop there as there’s no fixed sitting time, either. You simply eat until you're full and then the team will let the next group of hungry punters in, so you don't have to feel rushed.
Dips, drinks and desserts are extra and can be ordered separately.
As for the pizzas, there's plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available so nobody has to miss out on the slice action.
Teasing the opening on Instagram, The Slice Club said: "No choosing a pizza and regretting it when someone else’s turns up. We make them. We bring them round. You take what you fancy. Drinks and desserts work normally."
"You’ve watched the window go up. You’ve watched us get the place ready. Now, you can finally book a table. We’re bringing bottomless pizza to Sharrow Vale, with slices coming to you until you decide to hit pause."
Sounds like a pretty good concept if you ask us, and we don't have long to wait as The Slice Club will be opening on Sharrow Vale Road on Friday 30 October.
Bookings are now open, and you can book your table via their website here.
