Middlesbrough
town in North Yorkshire, north-east England
🇬🇧 United Kingdom · 54.5739, -1.2333
Middlesbrough is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
1 production was filmed at 1 place inside Middlesbrough rather than at Middlesbrough itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“The towns of Easingwold, Kirkby Malzeard, Kirkbymoorside, Malton, Middlesbrough, Ripon, Richmond and Thirsk, each mentioned by characters in the series, lie in North Yorkshire, as does the city of York, while Leeds—similarly mentioned—lies in West Yorkshire.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Middlesbrough as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
- Downton Abbey 2010–2015
-
Billy Elliot
2000
“The mining scenes were filmed at the Ellington and Lynemouth Colliery in Northumberland, with some filming in Dawdon, Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne.” Wikipedia
Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Middlesbrough
1 production shot at 1 place inside Middlesbrough, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Middlesbrough itself.
- Zack Snyder's Justice League Riverside Stadium per Wikipedia 2021
Named here by Middlesbrough’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Middlesbrough, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

“Film director Ridley Scott is from the North East and based the opening shot of Blade Runner on the view of the old ICI plant at Wilton.” Wikipedia
