The cobbles are lost under sawdust, and some of its famous pubs look very different.
This was Micklegate on Thursday (May 19), looking just it did in the early Victorian era.
Those wizards at the BBC had turned back the clock as filming of an epic new TV drama about the Brontë family.
To Walk Invisible is a two-hour drama about the Bronte sisters: Emily, played by Chloe Pirrie (An Inspector Calls), Charlotte – played by Finn Atkins (Vera) and Anne, who is played by Charlie Murphy (Happy Valley).
Game Of Thrones star Jonathan Pryce plays their father Patrick. It is written and directed by Happy Valley creator Sally Wainwright.
The drama is in the early days of filming, and no date has been set for transmission of the two-hour film.
Much of it will be filmed in Yorkshire. “This is such an exciting and ambitious project, and we have already had a huge amount of interest in it,” said Sally Wainwright.
“Something about the lives of these three brilliant, talented Yorkshire women seems to touch people at a very deep level.”
This is my kind of movie.I love how authentic it is. Amercans don’t ever seem to get it right! I am obsessed with anything English.The land of my family history. I really felt ‘at home’ when i was there and need to live there. the period films there move my soul very much. Love it!
Looks very authentic, not the glamorous costumes, hairstyles, buildings, pavements of other period dramas.
I chuckled wryly over that closeup of the cast in period costume examining the carriage whips. Fibreglass ones with plastic handgrips and nylon whipthongs…
Great photos of beautiful building & ‘props’ – love the horse box!
