City Locations Bring New Sherlock Series to Life Numerous iconic landmarks in a city have been transformed into the backdrop for a fresh adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. The new series, Young Sherlock, premiered on Tuesday, with its narrative primarily set in Oxford and London. However, residents of Bristol may recognize some of the locations used in the Victorian-era mystery thriller. Places like Broad Street and Underfall Yard have been incorporated to give the story its authentic setting. Deon Du Preez, the supervising location manager for Young Sherlock, highlighted the appeal of filming in Bristol. "Filming in Bristol is always good fun," he said. "The city’s got great architecture—both period and contemporary—which makes options quite exciting." He also praised the collaboration with local authorities, residents, and businesses, noting that the city’s support made the production process a pleasure. While location managers typically adapt scenes to fit existing settings, Du Preez revealed that the writers of Young Sherlock modified some scripts to better align with the chosen locations. This approach allowed the production to maximize the unique features of each site. For instance, the blacksmiths workshop at Underfall Yard, part of Bristol’s harbor side, was used for a high-energy action sequence. The site manager for Underfall Yard, Win Cnoops, emphasized the importance of filming for the area’s recovery. A significant portion of the yard was destroyed in an arson attack in 2023, and the site’s management expressed hope that film production could generate revenue to aid its restoration. "With the shed not being used, we’re missing rental income," Cnoops explained. "Filming really helps in finding additional funds.#young_sherlock #bristol #deon_dupreez #underfall_yard #shepton_mallett
