I wonder if this includes Braims, Hunslet that Steve Jones mentioned.S'posed to be set in post-WW1 Birmingham. But the required Victorian Architecture didn't survive Jerry or the 50's & 60's planners.So it is filmed mainly in Leeds and Liverpool.The interiors were filmed at "a Leeds Studio".Found this:-Where was Peaky Blinders filmed?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The production was based in Leeds at Studio81 and filmed in locations across the West Midlands and north of England including:Newby Hall & Gardens, RiponBolton Abbey, SkiptonLeeds Town HallCity Varieties Music Hall, LeedsSaltaire, near BradfordSalt’s Mill, near BradfordDalton Mills, BradfordKeighley and Worth Valley RailwayBrooke’s Mill, HuddersfieldStanley Dock, LiverpoolAdditionally, the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley provided the backdrop for Charlie Strong’s yard and one of Liverpool’s famed terraced streets doubles for Garrison Lane. Well spotted. I've seen the trailers for this show and it looks promising. Even more now I can spot locations.

There was some intense activity by a filming crew this last couple of weeks in Queenswood Gardens, Headingley - the hill leading up to the two multi storey blocks of flats. We all wondered what it was but I haven't met anyone who had asked.

I'm pretty sure that they filmed in the Olympic on New Market Street for this.

At those prices the Olympic has my trade! I bet you would also get scraps if you wanted them (a meal in itself when I was a youngster!). Sorry for going off-topic.

I caught the beginning of "an exciting, new drama" tonight which featured scenes in Leeds Railway Station so, perhaps, may feature other Leeds locations:http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a50 ... ckout.html
