Westgate Arcade in Halifax town centre was used a number of times and cameras were also spotted outside Wilko’s on Corn Market and in Halifax Borough Market.

One of the most unusual things spotted when filming was when a mysterious bright light shone on on West Bank, Illingworth for some night scenes.

Although we’ll see a lot of outdoor locations there’s one place that will be on our screens more than most.Most of the main drama in the show happens inside the walls of Ackley Bridge College, which is filmed at the former St Catherine’s Catholic High School in Holmfield.

Ackley Bridge will be on Channel 4 tonight (Tuesday) at 8pm.
