Cast and crew for the latest Danny Boyle-directed production have been spotted filming in two West Yorkshire towns.

The acclaimed director, known for films such as Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, was seen working in Hebden Bridge on Wednesday before moving to nearby Sowerby Bridge on Thursday.

The upcoming film Ink is set to star Australian actor Guy Pearce as media mogul Rupert Murdoch and shares the story of his growing newspaper empire in the 1960s.

Esther Mattock, who runs Willow Tree Cafe at Number 5 in Sowerby Bridge, said she managed to "sneak down to say hi" to the director after serving drinks to the crew.

"I thought it was going to be a quiet morning but then we had the film crew floating around outside, resulting in about 50 to 60 takeaway drinks in about 90 minutes," she said.

"I quickly ran down in my apron and took a sneaky photo, said hi and ran back."

Cast and crew were in Sowerby Bridge on Thursday and in Hebden Bridge on Wednesday

She was told the crew were filming scenes of a young Murdoch skimming stones down by the River Calder.

Ms Mattock said filming for Ink - which is based on the James Graham play of the same name - was the latest in a growing line of productions to have used the area as a backdrop.

"We had Happy Valley, so we are quite used to it now," she said.

"You do get an awful lot of people complaining, because they closed the car park for example, but they have brought a lot of custom to us and put Sowerby Bridge onto social media."

Barber Jack Spencer spotted a Jaguar used during filming in Hebden Bridge

In Hebden Bridge, barber Jack Spencer filmed a red E-Type Jaguar driving down Albion Street in front of his shop.

He said the car drove past "about four or five times" as they captured the shot.

"There is quite a lot of chat about it," he said.

"I didn't see lots of actors apart from the ones in the back of the car, the other people I saw were extras."

The Calder Valley, with its distinctive landscape of rolling hills, cobbled streets and traditional shopfronts, has provided filming locations for several recent high-profile dramas including Sally Wainwright's Happy Valley and Riot Women.

Happy Valley, which first aired in 2014, focused on Halifax and surrounding locations including Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Luddenden and Sowerby Bridge.

Riot Women tells the story of five women who form a punk rock band to enter a local talent contest.
