Just this week, Netflix transformed Dale Street into 1800s Manhattan for the filming of House of Guinness - a 19th century period piece set in New York and Dublin which follows the history of the family behind the famous brewery.
The series is from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, who is no stranger to turning to Manchester for scenes in that particular show. As our round-up here shows, the city has been used for all sorts of TV and film projects. That’s of course on top of being home to shows like Coronation Street, Cold Feet and more.
