THE historic cobbled streets of Bradford’s Little Germany are once again being transformed into a film set.

The Telegraph & Argus understands it is for a new Netflix production and the set will include a 1940s police station.  

One passer-by said today: “They’ve closed off roads in the area and there are lots of lighting trucks around.”

He added the filming is taking place in a building that backs onto the new Coroners’ Court on Cater Street.

Little Germany has been used as a backdrop for many high-profile productions over the years including Downton Abbey, The Crown, Gentleman Jack, Peaky Blinders and All Creatures Great and Small.

Earlier this year, David Wilson, director of Bradford City of Film, told the T&A: "We have seen increase in requests for film and TV locations in the past six months at the Bradford Film Office as production across the UK is booming.

"Bradford has established a solid reputation as a film-friendly city and of course we have such a great variety of locations. Added to that this is very much a team effort with support from the highways department, parking services, countryside and rights of way team, parks and landscapes at Bradford Council.

"There are of course economic benefits of having all these productions in town in terms of coffees, hotel stays etc then in the longer term there is screen tourism and many people who are interested in locations where the likes of Peaky Blinders have filmed."
