Residents in Halifax not to be alarmed if they see smoke as two TV shows begin filming

People living in Halifax are being told not to be alarmed if they see smoke in some areas of the town today (20 Thursday) - because it's a film set!

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue say that until around 11:00pm tonight a smoke machine will be used around Kings Cross Road, Bull Close, Old Lane and Dean Clough.

Happy Valley cast and crew have been seen at Dean Clough, Halifax, filming for the third and final series.

Channel 4 drama Ackley Bridge is also currently filming inside Square Chapel Arts Centre:
