Concord sports centre for outside of prison shots, king Egbert school gym for inside prison shots, was reading on the BBC site that they used Castle Market for a chase scene and also chartered a Supertram for filming. Was slow at first but looks like it's going to be good. We watched them film at Concord as only live across road. When we saw the prison van parked behind the centre, I thought it was prisoners on a day out. Hahahahahaa. Took a trophy photo of my kids stood next to the made up sign anyway.

Then where was it supposed to be? I assumed it to be on the coast somewhere. I've never heard seagulls in Sheffield, have you?

 

When I was at junior school, as the weather got colder, seagulls would start to come and scrounge our crisps at playtime :)

It was shot last july and august. The primary school was shot at the old sharrow primary. The flats are lansdowne flats in sharrow. The prison i think was shot at king edwards school. My claim to fame is gemma sat at my work desk!

 

it was king ecgburts and hinde house school

I watched this last night. A lot of the shots were of Sheffield. Did anyone else notice this.

 

I watched the BBC programme about the riots-it had shots of Manchester but not Sheffield.
