Netflix The Irregulars Liverpool film shoot takes street back to Victorian times

A city centre street was transformed into Victorian times last night as filming for Netflix series The Irregulars kicked off once again.

The series suffered a filming setback last month when the lead actress suffered a fall on the cobbles and injured her face while filming in the business district.

She was checked over at hospital while the crew shut down filming and informed residents in the area they'd have to come back for a reshoot.

In a letter sent to residents of the Albany Apartments on Old Hall Street, a spokesperson for the show's production company said that filming on Ormond Street had been abandoned due to an accident on set.

The letter said: "Due to unforeseen circumstances during our filming on Tuesday 21st January, we were unable to film on Ormond Street.

"Unfortunately during our filming last night, our leading actress had an accident and we were unable to complete our scheduled filming.

"We will, therefore, be returning to Ormond Street for a reshoot."

Filming was postponed but latest photos from Liverpool resident Jeorge Johns show production has resumed and the cast and crew are back on the job.

The show features a nine-strong cast including local actress Darci Shaw and Irish performer Thaddea Graham.

St Bride Street in the popular Georgian Quarter provided the backdrop for scenes the new show, with filming taking place last night, Tuesday 4.

The Irregulars is a spin-off of Arthur Conan-Doyle's much loved Sherlock Holmes series.

The new series will follow a group of street urchins, known as the Baker Street Irregulars, who use their crime solving skills to help a delinquent interpretation of Holmes while the famed detective takes credit.

The show will have the Baker Street Irregulars working with Dr Watson, helping to save London from supernatural elements.

The series is expected to be filming until May 2020 across several different locations.

Liverpool has also been used as the setting for a Sherlock Holmes mystery with Robert Downey Jnr and Jude Law being filmed on Stanley Dock in 2011.
