In 1979, Dobcross gained some Hollywood fame when scenes for the movie "Yanks," starring Richard Gere and Vanessa Redgrave, were filmed there. This led to an annual military-themed celebration in Saddleworth, which continues today.
Like the rest of Saddleworth, Dobcross was once part of the West Riding of Yorkshire and relied on woolen cloth manufacturing for its livelihood.
