A FILM-MAKER has been recruited to produce a video history of Ferryhill.
Ferryhill Past, Present and Future, is being filmed by Michael Bell, who has agreed to complete the video before starting a masters degree course in Leeds.
He has already started filming in and around the town.
The past will be represented by old picture postcards and other historical images.
Town council chiefs are also hoping to obtain old film footage to include on the video.
Mr Bell is touring the town for footage of everyday life, including sporting events, town centre activity and views of landmarks.
The future will include images of Ferryhill people, young and old, talking about what they hope for the town in years to come.
Jamie Corrigan, executive officer for Ferryhill Town Council, said: "We will be sending one of these out to all the schools in the town to give the kids the chance to appreciate the history of Ferryhill.
And we are also going to sell them from the town hall and other places for the public.
