ONE of North Yorkshire's attractions has been showing youngsters how to keep clean.

The World of James Herriot Centre, in Thirsk, is holding a series of washday workshops showing youngsters how their clothes would have been kept clean back in the 1940s.

A spokesman said: "They have been very successful so far, and there are quite a few schools booked in for the workshops still to come." Pictured is assistant Fiona Brumpton at one of the workshops.
