An area of Liverpool was transformed into 70s West Belfast for filming.
Film crews were spotted on City Road In Walton on Wednesday, May 24, and the street was transported back to many decades ago with old cars, a working men's club and an old telephone box. Pictures taken by the ECHO shows a scene of what appears to be the aftermath of an explosion.
Cars were burnt out, rubble was on the floor and bricks were piled high. Houses on City Road also had brightly coloured timber frames and buildings were turned into vintage shops.

Liverpool Film Office confirmed crews were in the city for a 10-part drama called Beaumont. A spokesperson said filming was also taking place on Milman Road.
The series is produced by Minim UK Ltd for FX Productions, the show follows the lives of a number of characters growing up in Belfast in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s during the troubled times.
