The Victorian model village of Saltaire is currently experiencing a palpable sense of excitement due to a significant film production.

Residents report that filming is occurring in various locations, including near the church and in a temporarily converted shop.

This is not the first time Saltaire has served as a film backdrop, with previous productions like 'The Choral' having been shot there.
