Bristol and Somerset Stage Victorian Sherlock on Location

A new Sherlock series, Young Sherlock, is being shot across Bristol and Somerset, with spots like Broad Street and Underfall Yard doubling as Victorian London settings. Writers tweaked scenes to fit the locales, and additional filming took place in South Wales and Shepton Mallet Prison, which was transformed to resemble a 19th-century jail; local authorities and venues are hopeful the production will boost filming revenue for sites like Underfall Yard.
