A farming company is supplying Jeremy Clarkson's farm with 'farming tents' for his new series.
First Tunnels, in Accrington, have provided two commercial polytunnels, which are used to grow fruit and vegetables, for the second season of the Top Gear legends farming show, Clarkson’s Farm.
Set in the Cotswolds, the Amazon Prime series follows Clarkson as he is getting to grips with how to run his farm which he has named 'Diddly Squat Farm'.
While filming, Jeremy announced the opening of a farm shop on his social media and to his surprise, hundreds of people turned up on the first day, with the farm shop having become a huge tourist destination, putting Chadlington on the map.
The local business has been selling and constructing top quality polytunnels to domestic and commercial growers for decades, and after the success of the first season, First Tunnels were approached to provide commercial polytunnel kits for season two of the series.
A spokesperson for First Tunnel's said: "It was good to be asked to get involved.
"It's a pleasure to work with such high profile people but it's no different to the job we do day in day out.
"There's nothing spectacular from our point of view - it's just our job."
Clarkson announced the second series on his Instagram last week, with show regular, Kaleb making an appearance in the video.
