Yorkshire is famous for its inventions and technologies. From a favourite bar of chocolate, to improving safety on our roads.
7. Cinema
Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince sounds like an unlikely name for a Leeds hero but the French artist and inventor did most of his important work while living in Leeds.
He developed many of the earliest innovations in cinematography, culminating in Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge, regarded as the first piece of true film ever recorded. Photo: Getty
8. Jelly tots
Brian Boffey, from Horsforth, was working as a young research scientist at Rowntrees at York when he invented jelly tots during the 1960s.
At the time he was trying to come up with a way to produce a powdered jelly that set instantly when it was added to cold water.
He thought that the droplets were just waste but within weeks the novel sweet was being sold in shops across the country.
