About 240 people turned out to watch a local film - the first to be shown at a multiplex cinema on Teesside.

A Century In Stone, which tells the story of how Teesside became the iron-mining capital of the world, has enjoyed success in local clubs and halls during the past six months.

On Monday, more people went to the UGC in Marton Road, Middlesbrough, to see the screening of the film, made by Teesside film-maker Craig Hornby, than any other film at the venue.

Mr Hornby said: "I am over the moon with the turnout.

"It's proof of local pride and that people want to see more of our true history.
