It's 70 years since the movie Brief Encounter was released in the UK.

The David Lean directed classic was famously shot on location at Carnforth railway station.

An exhibition of the director's life and work is currently on at the station, where a quote from the film is written on the window glass.

Brief Encounter was named one of the top 100 British films of the 20th century by the British Film Institute.

Shot during World War Two - the Ministry of War picked Carnforth as the location as it was remote and safe from attack.
