Cliffhanger Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The History Boys is supposed to take place in Sheffield right? But the schools are in Watford, so where are the outdoor shots? Somewhere hilly, but doesn't look like Sheff to me - seem to be some mill chimneys about - so maybe Huddersfield perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffhanger Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ta, I'd looked on IMBD under the film, but couldn't find anything on location. So Manchester?? It was flatter than a witch's tit last time I were there. Must be somewhere in the outer reaches t' north I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Apparently it was filmed in Halifax, at first I thought "gah, why didn't they film it here!!" until I heard the reason: "Sheffield looks too modern these days, Halifax is still quite dated and thus ads to the 'period' feel of the film" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffhanger Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Bloody 'ell! So now 'Alifax is in Greater Manc too - is nothin sacred? Where next - Ilkley Moor? Or is it just that to southern luvvies it's all the same north of Watford? Speakin of which, how come they had to use Watford schools - if they wanted somewhere archaic they could ave used KES!
