A wealth of Lancashire beauty spots have played a role both on the big and small screen, including some of the county’s most iconic industrial buildings.
Queen Street, for example, made an appearance in the Oscar-winning film, ‘The King’s Speech’ and ‘Helmshore Mills’, having also featured in the landmark TV series, ‘Sharpe’.
