It was in November 1997 that Helmshore Museum became
the location for the filming of the popular Granada TV series SHARPE,
starring Sean Bean. Interior and exterior
shooting took place over several days. The episode also starred Philip
Glenister (later of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes fame) as Sharpe's half
brother Truman. (all stills Granada Television)
