When award-winning TV writer Sally Wainwright came to film Gentleman Jack, the explosive story of 19th-century industrialist Anne Lister (played by Suranne Jones), she was lucky enough to be able to do so in Anne’s real-life home. The production team took over the historic estate of Shibden Hall in West Yorkshire for several months, and also filmed in the Georgian town centres of nearby Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield.
