Hide AdThe crews moved into New Mills for a week in June last year around the Wirksmoor Road area.
A spokesperson for New Mills Town Council said: “New Mills was chosen as one of the locations for 'After the Flood' a six-part mystery thriller to be filmed in the High Peak.”
Despite being in the town for a week filming in New Mills only took place on one day.
Prior to that the site was being prepared and the sandbag levee built and then taken down.
In Glossop several police and fire vehicles were seen on set, as well as the fire crew creating rain for filming purposes using hosepipes.
