Keep catching glimpses of it but not seen it all the way through. Not sure if any bits of Sheffield feature? There’s an archived thread on this forum which someone mentions part of an old Charles Peace film was shot in their back yard on Orchard Lane (where Orchard Square now is). 1 Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
