Filmed across Calderdale and North Yorkshire, the 1949 film A Boy, A Girl and A Bike is a romantic comedy about a bicycle race and a romantic situation arising between the contestants.

Much of the film is from Calderdale, including Hebden Bridge, Elland and Boothtown, as well as scenes in North Yorkshire around Malham.

For this video, we are looking at some of those locations and how much they have changed in 75 years.

  1. Fascinating, well done for finding the locations. An old Top Rank distribution from Gainsborough Studios, didn't they make a lot of the Ealing films?

  2. Driving thru Ireland once, we inadvertently drive thru a filming because the bloke who was supposed to be blocking the lane left to take a β€”β€”-. It was a documentary about the filming of The Quiet Man in County Cork. I never did find out the name of that docu to see if they kept us in it! Oops!
