A studio in east Manchester where parts of Peaky Blinders and The Crown have been filmed is set to be sold. A deal has been struck to sell the award-winning Space Studios in West Gorton which was built by Manchester council.
The television and film studio has hosted some of the UK's biggest production companies with much of its drama content available on Netflix and Amazon. The studio in Vaughan Street is now poised for further expansion with plans approved last year, but the council has decided not to take this forward itself.
Manchester council has said this is an 'opportune time' for the local authority to sell the 'bespoke facility' which has been managed and operated by a company it owns called Manchester Creative Digital Assets since 2014. The identity of the buyer and the sale price agreed have not yet been revealed.
