From the rolling hills of the Peak District to the industrial underbelly of the city centre, the sites and culture of Sheffield have managed to draw in artists from across the globe.
Lead characters in the British cultural landmark Doctor Who were fighting aliens on the streets of Sheffield, while cult classic comedies like Four Lions have emerged from the city.
And this is all without mentioning the rest of South Yorkshire, where stately home Wentworth Woodhouse has played a role in the hit Netflix drama The Crown and Barnsley stands as the home of Kes.
We’ve collected a list of 16 locations across the county that have made their way onto people’s screens.
1. Doctor Who - Park Square bridge
Sheffield has played a starring role in series 11 and 12 of Doctor Who, with scenes being shot everywhere from the pictureque Peak District to the more industrial setting beneath the cranes at Wincobank. Yet it is the Park Hill flats and surrounding spots like Park Square bridge (pictured) which were explored most by Jodie Whittaker's thirteenth Doctor. Photo: Steve Ellis
