It might be the first day of September, but summer isn’t over yet. It looks set to be a sunny and warm weekend with more bright spells to follow next week too. Just in time for the kids’ return to school. That is, if they can get into their schools following the government’s announcement that 104 schools and colleges must partially or fully close buildings over concrete collapse fears.
In today’s newsletter we’ll be telling you about the unlikely ‘Hollywood of the North’ and taking a look at a year inside a struggling state school. Let’s begin.
Greater Manchester’s town of culture is laying a new claim - it’s been hailed as the ‘Hollywood of the North’.
That’s right, local leaders say Stockport deserves that title as it grows its reputation as a popular filming location for some of the world’s leading TV shows and films. And though you’re not likely to see as many shade-wearing celebrities chugging on iced matcha lattes down the A6 as you would in L.A. you may well spot some film crews there.
In recent years, the borough has served as the backdrop for popular shows including Peaky Blinders, Dodger, It’s A Sin and ITV’s recent hit The Tower. It also has a number of upcoming productions with BBC, Disney+, Netflix and Sky already in the pipeline and it was most recently used as a primary location for sitcom The Power of Parker.
As Adam Maidment reports, figures from Filming in England have revealed that since January 2018, 197 shoot days have taken place across Stockport, with an estimated production spend of more than £3.5
