Taken from http://www.thisisbradford.co.uk/bradford__district/keighley/news/KEIG_NEWS8.html Film shot in Keighley is released by Alistair Shand A film shot extensively in Keighley has been released on DVD. Between Two Women, set in Yorkshire in the late 1950s, was filmed in and around Grove Mill at Ingrow. The former British Mohair Spinners premises will soon be transformed into a £65 million apartment complex. Between Two Women was the debut production from Leeds-based North Country Pictures. The movie stars TV actors Barbara Marten, from Casualty, Andrina Carol and Andrew Dunn. The film -- shot six years ago -- follows married couple Geoff and Ellen's conflict over whether their son can rise above his working-class roots. Ellen's marriage is further strained when she falls in love with her artist son's teacher Kathy. Scenes in Between Two Women were shot at Damems Station, behind Keighley Station and on Ingrow Bridge, as well as the mill itself. North Country Pictures used the deserted mill complex to recreate the working-class setting for the nostalgic movie. On first release the "poignant, professionally contemporary and handsomely crafted" movie was praised for its script, acting and directing. The DVD and video were delayed to coincide with the release of North Country Pictures' follow-up The Jealous God. That film -- released last month on DVD -- was another nostalgic film based on Bingley writer John Braine's novel. Its premiere was held at the Rex Cinema in Elland last year. Steven Woodcock, of North Country Pictures, told the Keighley News he had returned to Grove Mills since making a film. Making a documentary to go with the DVD release, he was disappointed to find the mill was undergoing changes. He said: "This was a stunning location which we used to the full, but it has now gone forever as a period film setting." Between Two Women has been released by Odyssey Quest. Add comment

Keighley discussion board. Part of Keighley's Biggest WebSite. Jan F/Sgt Harry DAWSON, killed in RAF 1945 Sun Apr 9, 2006 8:55pm 82.47.173.63 F/Sgt Harry DAWSON, killed in RAF 1945This is a message which has been posted to Keighley Local History Society on their message boards..........I sincerely hope this finds the family of this man This message has beewn posted onto the KLH web site, I think perhaps it needs a much wider audience it is so very important, that this family are traced. F/Sgt Harry DAWSON, killed in RAF 1945 From Matt Poole F/Sgt Harry DAWSON, killed in RAF 1945 I am writing on behalf of the Canadian Directorate of History and Heritage, National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa. Canada is currently planning a ground search in Burma for the remains of an RAF 4-engine Liberator bomber crew which was shot down at low level on 3 January 1945 while attacking a target along the notorious Burma-Siam Death Railway, built by POW and native slave labour at a terrible human cost. All 11 crewmen died, including the flight engineer, 33 year old F/Sgt Harry DAWSON of Keighley. It is my desire to find Harry's kin, in order to share details with them, should they desire such information. Harry, whose RAF service number was 1541705, was the "son of William and Mary Rebecca Dawson; husband of Margery Dawson, of KEIGHLEY." This quoted info comes from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, but I cannot be sure if only Harry's widow was from Keighley or if his parents were also residents of Keighley. I will assume that they all lived in Keighley. Eventually we hope to obtain more information from the RAF, such as last-known addresses, but for now the above basics are all I have to offer. I would be indebted to anyone who can establish such a link for me. Because 6 of the 11 aboard the bomber were Canadians, the Canadian government has recently embraced the opportunity to search for the remains after learning that a photo of the crew's original gravesite in the village of Anankwin, Burma was taken in September 1945 by a member of an Allied grave search team. I was able to positively correlate the loss of Harry Dawson's crew to this particular burial based on the detailed caption accompanying the photo. There is no doubt. Sadly, for unknown reasons, the bodies were never moved to a war cemetery, and the airmen's families were not even told of the original gravesite! The 11 men are officially listed as "missing, no known graves". It is this terrible oversight that we hope to rectify. Although I am an American, I am acting as chief researcher for the Canadians on this project, due to my expertise into RAF Liberator operations in the Far East. I have already found the kin of 5 of the 6 Canadians, but I need all the help I can get in locating Harry Dawson's family (as well as the kin of 4 other Englishmen). Canada has committed considerable resources to searching for the airmen's Add comment Pages: << [1] [2] [3] Add new entryAdd new comment to the entry | |
