A film studio is celebrating a historic anniversary while looking towards the future.
Elstree Studios have put banners up in Borehamwood High Street in light of its 90th anniversary creating film and television.
The studios are internationally acclaimed and have been home to productions such as The Shining, the original Star Wars trilogy and television shows like Big Brother and Strictly Come Dancing also filmed there.
Roger Morris, Managing Director of Elstree Studios, said: “Borehamwood and Elstree are proud of the Studios heritage and the importance to the area.
“It was after all the British Hollywood, the studios regeneration and success reflects the overall success of the UK film and television industry.
“The creative industries are a growth industry in the UK and we are world leaders.
“The college that we sponsor, the Elstree University Technical College, the vocational education school for Film Television and Theatre has over 360 students, that’s more than the National Film School and London Film School combined.”
The banners show stars who have worked in the studios including Alfred Hitchcock, Colin Firth, Claire Foy, Tess Daly, Claudia Winkleman, Paddington Bear, Simon Pegg and Bradley Walsh.
