According to IMDb, the majority of the scenes in the show were filmed in the quaint and beautiful town of Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK. In an interview with the Yorkshire Post, the series' location manager Emma Jane Richards shared that they needed a square for their show and The Piece Hall fitted the bill perfectly.

Richards applauded the lovely memorial and commented on the authorities' friendliness, saying:

"There is absolutely no way this project would have happened without the full support and engagement of everybody at Calderdale Council. That is a huge part of why this has been such a success."

She went on to say that many of the locals they met during filming were interested in what was going on and offered their assistance to the team and cast. Richards described her experience, saying:

"I love it when you bring a crew and they all get involved with the local community and the local shops. I think it's just a lovely place to be. I can't get over how friendly Halifax has been. People are curious and interested but it's always very friendly and we try to always be friendly as well so we've had a lovely time. I think Halifax is such a friendly place. It feels very much like a community."
