Film crews have descended and put the town’s landmarks and scenery to use on many occasions – and continue to do so.
Here’s a look at 16 TV shows and movies filmed at locations around the district.
5. Peaky Blinders
Film crews were in Williamson Park in 2021 to record scenes for the new series of Peaky Blinders. The stunning art deco room where Gina Gray (played by Anya Taylor-Joy) lounged in a lot of her scenes was meant to be in America but was in fact inside the Ashton Memorial. Photo: Kelvin Stuttard
