Sharpe

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.
