Nottingham was also sold of to a uni? and Birmingham got knock down.


Lenton Lane was sold off to University of Nottingham, their "King's Meadow Campus". The offices are used for the uni's administration, the studios themselves still exist. Often hired out to Screen East Midlands and the like-- Control was partly filmed there I believe.

There's some interesting photos behind the scenes at YTV on flickr

The YTV reception looks very modern, it must have been refurbished in the last few years

Probably when they changed all the signage to ITV Yorkshire and replaced the front doors.

Well I was last in there for a job interview in May 2007, and it looked very different, so it must have been fairly recent.

On reflection, quite glad I didn't get the job now.

How many buildings on Kirkstall Road are owned by ITV are used for TV related businesses?

I know there is obviously the main YTV studios, then the Calendar building, Provision a few doors down and the Emmerdale production centre round the corner, but how about the other buildings in the area?

Is the Emmerdale building heavily branded with signage? Would you know Emmerdale is actually based in there?

It's got the ITV Yorkshire sign on the front, nothing else to specify that it is Emmerdale that they make there

I don't think you ever get fans hanging around like you do at Granada, but I suppose the actors will only be there half the time as they do the exterior scenes on the purpose built village

They do, ive heard a few people say they have been down to Emmerdale and ive seen pics fans have posted on facebook - never been to Emmerdale myself as im not as big a fan of that as Corrie, but apparently its easier than Corrie because the cast get out of their cars right by where the fans wait.
