The city’s combination of gritty industrial heritage, the romantic landscape of the Peak District and atmospheric brutalist architecture like the iconic Park Hill flats have long made it an attractive option for film crews.
But how many of these settings do you recognise from films and TV dramas in which Sheffield has played a starring role over the years?
5. This is England '86, '88 and '90
Shane Meadows' acclaimed trilogy, which was a spin-off from the 2006 film This is England, was shot largely in and around Sheffield's Gleadless Valley estate, with the gritty drama centred on Ironside Road Photo: Stuart Hastings
6. How to Talk to Girls at Parties
Sheffield stood in for 1970s Croydon in this 2017 sci-fi romantic comedy starring Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, which was shot at locations including Park Hill and Sheffield Space Centre book shop on the Wicker (pictured) Photo: Marisa Cashill
7. The Full Monty
The most famous and highest grossing film to come out of Sheffield, about an enterprising group of unemployed steelworkers who take up stripping to make ends meet, was shot at locations across the city. The jobcentre on West Street, Parkwood Springs and the canal in Attercliffe all featured, along with Shiregreen Club (pictured), where the final scene was filmed before a real audience. Sadly the former working men's club is now closed and its owners applied unsuccessfully earlier this year to demolish the building so it could be replaced with housing Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Doctor Who
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, but it is the Park Hill flats and surrounding spots like Park Square bridge (pictured) which have featured most prominently Photo: Steve Ellis
