But to perfectly capture the world of Tommy Shelby and his gang, the producers have used locations right across Britain. This illustrated guide reveals over 20 locations, along with episode references, so viewers can check out exactly which stations, mills, factories and grand house were featured on screen. Locations include:   • The Black Country Living Museum: Situated on the canal in Dudley and open all year round to the public, this museum shows West Midlands’ industrial heritage.   • Manchester’s impressive 1877 town hall: Used when Sam Neill’s character meets Churchill; while the city’s Grade II-listed Edwardian swimming pool, the Victoria Baths, was mocked up for a horse fair.   • Port Sunlight: A model industrial village on the Wirral that has been preserved thanks to its single ownership and strict leaseholds, which sets the backdrop for Aunt Polly’s Sutton Coldfield House.   • Keighley \u0026amp; Worth Valley Railway in Yorkshire, which once served mills and villages in the Worth valley is used as one of the locations for the Blinder’s many train station scenes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745155457297,"sku":"NGR9781841659435","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53497824510225,"sku":"GOR013251551","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841659436.jpg?v=1780568020"},{"product_id":"bridgerton-s-bath-book-antonia-hicks-9781841659275","title":"Bridgerton's Bath","description":"Bridgerton is the runaway Netflix success that has captured the hearts and imaginations of its biggest ever global audience. Producers Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes have ripped up the Regency drama rulebook to create a series that speaks to a modern audience.    Apart from the intense sexual chemistry, inspired casting and a lavish costume budget, what sets Bridgerton apart is the extensive use of location shooting. Step forward Bath: the Georgian architectural jewel gets to play many different parts of fashionable London.    Bridgerton’s Bath takes you on a tour of all these locations from No.1 The Royal Crescent (the Featherington’s house on Grosvenor Square) to Abbey Green (Covent Garden) and the Abbey Deli (Modiste couturier) on Abbey Street.    Bridgerton intersects with Jane Austen’s world at the Assembly Rooms where one of the early balls takes place, while the 18th-century Bath Guildhall also gets a place on the series’ dance card.    A key character in the drama is Lady Danbury, played by Adjoa Andoh, and her grand mansion is Bath’s former Sydney Hotel, today the Holburne Museum. Gunter’s Tea Room was a celebrated London patisserie and in Bridgerton it can be found on Trim Street.    Many Bath streets feature regularly, including Beauford Square, a place for regular carriage trips and the Royal Crescent, which in Series One, reverberated to the sound of galloping hooves as our heroine (or her stunt double) raced to stop a duel.    The book includes a feature on how the series was filmed in the city, and includes a detailed map so you can follow your own Bridgerton Walking Tour of this beautiful city, which has more to offer besides.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50060463735057,"sku":"CIN1841659274G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50585574998289,"sku":"NGR9781841659275","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51921854169361,"sku":"CIN1841659274VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52128517718289,"sku":"NLS9781841659275","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841659274.jpg?v=1751185322"},{"product_id":"peaky-blinders-location-guide-book-antonia-hicks-9781841659756","title":"Peaky Blinders Location Guide","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeaky Blinders Location Guide\u003c\/i\u003e is a perfect companion to the worldwide BBC hit series set in the gritty industrial heart of early twentieth-century Britain.

Coming soon in series six, the harbor at Portsoy in Aberdeenshire will be standing in for a French port. No doubt smuggling will be involved. ","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52699667857681,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52699667890449,"sku":"NIN9781841659756","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-antonia-hicks.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
