Filming will take place around a plot at the Glebeland Road end of our site. Therefore, so as not to interrupt continuity of filming, access to the site will not be available through the Glebelands Road entrance during filming sessions. The two entrances on Grosvenor Road will be open as usual. Planned filming dates and times will be given below as we are advised of them. == Planned Filming Schedule: == No filming dates are planned for the foreseeable future - please check again in the Autumn |
