'The Full Monty' was filmed in Sheffield, and as a local boy I recognised most of them, or had walked past them in person. The opening historic film showing the steel industry was explored in detail here.
It included the famous 'Hole in t' road' which no longer exists but which I have talked about before in geography sessions on the city's cultural heritage. Sheffield is also the home of the GA, and was my place of work for three years from 2008-2011. Here's a film from the start...
There's this memorable scene later in the film when the Full Monty gang go to sign on (I did that myself during the mid 80s - as a student we signed on during the summer holidays - with no intention of getting a job of course).
