Wintry scenes offer backdrop to filming of Peaky Blinders film on Netherton canal
The latest stages of filming for the new Peaky Blinders film on a Netherton canal took place amid a wintry backdrop.
It was a white and wintry scene which became the backdrop to the latest stages of filming for the new Peaky Blinders film around a Dudley park and beauty spot.
The area around the Dudley Canal and Bumble Hole near Netherton was the setting for a day of filming of the new film, entitled "The Immortal Man", which took place amid a wintry landscape after a night of snow.
The canal towpath between Cobb's End Bridge to Bullfield Bridge and Bumble Hole Bridge was closed off to walkers throughout Tuesday, with mooring for canal boats also suspended, while filming of scenes for the Steven Knight film took place.
The nature reserve and the Dudley Canal that passes through it are being used as an outdoor film set by Oblik Productions Ltd, marking the second time in a number of weeks that the production company has used the nature reserve as a film set.
People out walking their dogs or taking in the winter air were able to stand on the canal bridge at the Bumble Hole Branch Canal and watch the scenes on the canal, but were unable to walk along the full canal path due to areas being closed off.
A large quantity of props, including coal sacks, barrels and carts, could be seen gathered on site alongside canal boats, while a large number of trailers were seen in and around Bumble Hole and the nearby Warrens Hall Nature Reserve.
The Peaky Blinders film, named "The Immortal Man" and set to feature Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Tommy Shelby, will appear on Netflix and is set to be released either late 2025 or early 2026.
