Today's filming is the latest in a series of shoots across the city region for the Sky One show.
Cobra is a Sky One original starring Robert Carlyle and Victoria Hamilton. The series follows the British Government and its Cobra committee - and how they deal with national emergencies.
The first season premiered in January 2020 and was well received.
It is not yet clear when season two will be aired on our TV screens but with production already underway, fans of the show won’t have long to wait.
