dead man's shoes/shane meadows: what's that town?

[No Name Girl]

hiya

i watched dead mans shoes on film4 last night, it was brilliant.

we were racking our brains trying to work out where the town was where it's set:

i tried to look at the end credits, but they were too fast for me , lol

it said something about "with thanks to the people of -----"

did anyone see it/know where it was filmed? thanks in advance (hopeful!)

Cracking film. I watched this last night after a friend recommended it - and told me that I look like Richard when I wear my coat in a certain way.

I take it the two young boys were actually Paddy Considine's real life sons?
