Many residents spotted filming equipment and crew in Hitchin yesterday - but what was going on?

At around 1pm, keen-eyed residents saw several actors and camera crew at the bottom of Mount Garrison road.

Residents are suggesting that the scene was for a "Bollywood film".

Filming was also spotted later on outside Esquires Coffee and Oxfam along the churchyard at around 4pm.

This would not be the first Bollywood crew in Hitchin, in February 2022 filming took place around the town centre and St Mary's Church.

Hitchin has been the backdrop to a number of other film shoots too.

In September, crews were seen in the car park at Hitchin Swimming Centre , with North Herts Council confirming scenes were being shot at the outdoor pool.

The sequel of Beetlejuice is another high-profile flick that was shot near Hitchin at The Princess Helena College in Preston last year.
