A NEW film charting Clitheroe through the past 1,000 years will be launched next month.
Clitheroe - Woven in Time traces the town's past from when it grew up around the castle to the age of the computer chip and Clitheroe's modern role as a tourist town.
The documentary, made with the help of Clitheroe based historians, is to be used in schools and to promote the town's tourist trade.
It will be shown for the first time in public at Clitheroe Town Hall on Monday September 9 at 6pm.
Clitheroe's mayor will give a short speech before the two-hour film is shown to both Ribble Valley Borough and Lancashire County councillors.
The documentary was made with modern production techniques including 3D computer graphics that depict Clitheroe's Norman castle as it would have looked when it was first built in the 12th century.
Clitheroe Town Band provided the film's background music in a piece composed by band leader Bill Carter and called the Clitheroe March.
