WHEN smoking was banned in Britain’s first “fresh air pub” the regulars didn’t take it well. It was 1971 and smokers were used to lighting up where they liked - but this Dales landlord stuck to his guns. The Yorkshire pub was highlighted by current affairs TV programme Nationwide in one of several quirky films released from BBC archives. The broadcaster has opened up its collection of unusual news footage, much of it shot locally over several decades. Other newly released films include how the Brontes spent their childhood in Haworth’s Parsonage, the Flying Scotsman in action, and the campaign to stop Wensleydale cheese being made in Lancashire.
