History of Knaresborough & Harrogate 

Learn all about these two towns and how they developed.
Knaresborough has a much longer history dating back to Roman times, whereas Harrogate only developed after 1571 when the first spring was discovered. Even then visitors stayed at Knaresborough as it was already a visitor attraction with the Petrifying Well, Mother Shipton and its location on top of the Nidd Gorge.
The film includes exclusive behind the scene visits to see Harrogate toffee being made; Harrogate Water being bottled; the Army Foundation College; electonic circuits being made at GSPK as well as the Great Yorkshire Show, the Flower Shows, the Knaresborough Bed Race, the Turkish Baths and many more events and locations.
