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?
