Than you for this. I have been over every inch of this building carrying out a measured survey when I worked for the Council. Brings back many memories memories. I was lucky enough to go to the top of the clock tower just before my retirement. Get them to take you in the basement to where the Police changing rooms were and where it can flood from the beck. Also the old kitchen and the plenum shafts in the dub basement.

@danielgardecki1046 18 дней назад

The cells and their corridors (which are usually Olive Green & White, but seem to have been Brown & White at some point) can be seen in many films and TV shows, however the all White corridor style basement can be seen in the film *Upgraded* (2024) where *Camila Mendes* is forced to work by her snobby superiors.

@danielgardecki1046 18 дней назад

You can see the basement in *Upgraded* (2024), and I'm 99% sure that a random room on one of the upper floors (which I snuck up to around 7 years ago, where I'm fairly sure the public aren't allowed) is the location for the series 4 *Hospital Interior* in *Peaky Blinders* (just 1 of 7 Peaky Blinders locations in City Hall.) The exterior of the *Hospital* is in a preserved neighbourhood in *Manchester,* however I'm 99% certain that the interior of the *Hospital* is *Bradford City Hall.* The floor is a slightly different style to the floor in the majority of the building, however the *White Bedside Cabinets* which they used in the show, are the same ones which are or were kept somewhere in *Hospital Setting* in *Bradford College* or the *University of Bradford.* They probably used the same bed frames and other hospital props from the *College/University* too.

@danielgardecki1046 18 дней назад

There's many more toilets I need to see, mainly Green ones like the one at 0:48 if I remember correctly, which I'm pretty sure are somewhere in *City Hall.* I need to see more because there's one, two, maybe even three or more mainly Green toilets which I have in my head, which have been used in multiple films and TV shows, but didn't think to check them out when I visited around 6 or 7 years ago, however I don't remember that Green one being used. If they're not in *City Hall,* then they will most likely be in *Braimes Pressings* in *Leeds.* The Red toilet at 9:37 however, has definitely been used in at least 3 productions.

Very interesting video Darren I have The Great Train Robbery DVD/Blu-ray 1996/2015, didn't know the court scene was filmed in Bradford City Hall I'm going to take another look at the DVD again. Very impressive nice one.

@danielgardecki1046 18 дней назад

Practically everything in the *The Great Train Robbery* (2013) is filmed in *Bradford.* It's roughly 60% *Bradford,* and 40% *Leeds,* in the same locations which are always used for filming. I have it downloaded from the internet for free, and have a list of most of the locations written down in one of my private blogs. I haven't watched either of them for a while, however I'm pretty certain that *The Great Train Robbery* (2013) and *Victoria* (2016-2019) did not film in the *Old Law Court.* They did however film in other areas of *City Hall* such as the *Council Chamber,* the *Main Entrance Hall,* the *Prison Cells,* the *Red* coloured toilet with the circle window, the *Courtyard,* and other random rooms. The same can be said for *Peaky Blinders* sort of, as *Peaky Blinders* only used the *Old Law Court* for the *Changretta Family Photo.* They did however use the *Prison Cells, Main Entrance, Main Entrance Hall, Mayor's Office* (or the room opposite the Mayor's Office), the *Two Reception/Conference Rooms,* the *Council Chamber,* and a random room on one of the upper floors, for actual filming rather than photography, which were used for *6 locations in Peaky Blinders* (7 when you include the photo).

@retrogiftsuk4812 15 дней назад

Spooky. I was speaking to my partner the other day, saying that I thought there must be a town hall somewhere that looks like a court (and so is used in TV dramas, since I doubt they could film in a real court) and then this video randomly pops up.

@nowt2957 24 дня назад

That takes me back! I have only been in there once as a child of about 6 in the early 1980s. Our school and another competed to see how many children we could fit inside a Nissan Micra in front of the City Hall then got a short tour, met the mayor and had some sandwiches provided in the mayor's fancy visiting room. Unfortunately all I recall are the flag room, the courtroom and the back staircase. I was obsessed with secret passages as a kid and thought that somebody did say there was at least one in there but they might have been pulling my leg.

@danielgardecki1046 18 дней назад

The secret passages are more likely the sewers which follow the *Bradford Beck* and go from *Bradford Live* in the West, *Market Street* in the East, and also lead to *Sunbridge Wells.*

@nowt2957 17 дней назад

@@danielgardecki1046 I am now aware of the many underground waterways in Bradford though, unfortunately not their routes. But the implication here was that there were hidden passageways within the building, Though I do wonder whether there are cellars leading to a passage to the Cathedral if only a culvert.

@stephenbennett1989 23 дня назад

I recently watched a brilliant Jim Broadbent film on bbc 2 called The Duke and a great deal of it is filmed around our Bradford, namely little Germany, and the very court you have shown us and undercliffe cemetery perhaps an idea for a video to visit them and tell the tale of the Duke a true story of a funny and remarkable man

@danielgardecki1046 18 дней назад

*Jim Broadbent* has filmed at least 5 productions in *Bradford.* *Bradford City Hall* has been used in at least 50 productions. I'm the guy who added most of the cast and crew to *The Duke* (2020) on *IMDB* years ago, because film and TV people clearly aren't bothered about making sure their credits are added. I want to focus on updating *Bradford* productions, but it's impossible to ignore the countless false, incorrect, mixed up etc credits, profiles, productions etc which I find every single day. In the last week or two I've been focusing on some 10-15 year old feature film and web series productions by people mainly based in *York,* as I've seen them pop up countless times over the years, when trying to find the correct people. As predicted, there are 100s of duplicate profiles for the same people, with their credits spread over multiple profiles which I'm slowly merging together or moving. So far I've updated 1 web series (consisting of 24 episodes) one by one, 2 feature films of theirs, plus have nearly finished updating a 3rd feature film of theirs. I just need to finish adding all the thanks credits and companies then it will be complete. There's also around 20 or 30 more shorts by them on their main channel, which are missing from *IMDB* at the moment, which I will be adding, most of which seem to be related to the web series, but whether they should be included as part of the series or not is another question, as they consist of things like special episodes, and behind the scenes stuff. The bulk of the same cast/crew from those productions have also worked on at least 1 more feature film, at least 4 more web series, plus around 30 more short films. There also seems to be countless missing music videos involving one person in particular, however I think I might not bother adding them, as like I said, there's countless music videos where he's listed as a crew member, on countless channels.

@jetsons101 23 дня назад

Darren, Great watch again... The image at 3:59 reminds me of the Dome above the Grand Staircase on the Titanic. I have learned so much about Victorian Toilets, can't wait to share with my coworkers tomorrow, by the way "Massive Urianls" is quite the understatement -- they're as big as shower-stalls.

Hello Darren. Love to look your videos of hidden secrets. If it is from the ballroom in Blackpool or old railtracks. The courtroom of Bradford Hall remembered me to an old movie with Margret Rutherford in Miss Marple. Do you know if it was there? Please excuse my bad English. Greetings from Germany

@AdventureMe 22 дня назад

I don't know. Most probably. Lots filmed in there.

@danielgardecki1046 18 дней назад

At least one or two episodes each of both *ITV* series *Poirot* and *Marple* have filmed in *Bradford.* However I'm pretty certain that both only used the *Keighley and Worth Valley Railway,* and nothing else in *Bradford,* from what I remember anyway. I haven't seen either show, as I actively avoided them, and practically every other *ITV* detective show when I was a kid and teenager (apart from *Heartbeat, The Bill,* and a few others), so I have no idea which episodes they are, although I'll find out one day when I decided to download them all. It's possible that the *BBC* original *Miss Marple* filmed in *Bradford* too, although I don't remember hearing anything about that. I have a list of at least 50 films and TV shows which have used *Bradford City Hall,* and can name most of the specific rooms too, although I'm certain there will be more productions I don't know about yet. Just this week I randomly found out about a Kung-Fu feature film from 16+ years ago which filmed at *Bradford City Hall,* however the film got cancelled after the 2007-2008 financial crisis.

@elkeninka6488 16 дней назад

@@danielgardecki1046you're right. The original BBC Miss Marple from 1964 wouldn't filmed in Bradford. After I wrote the comment I watched Murder Most Foul again. But I looked especially at the background. I don't know where it is, but it isn't in Bradford. Thanks for your comment.

The basement recently featured in *Upgraded* along with many more areas of the building... However the "real basement" is underground, and no-one gets to see it, however it can be found online. It contains the *Bradford Beck* which goes all the way under *Bradford Live* to the West, and *Market Street* to the East. I saw some videos by urban explorers years ago who went there, one of which decided to exit the tunnels/sewers on *Market Street,* with people no doubt wondering what was going on.
