A new BBC drama filmed in Hemel has led to donations to two local homelessness charities.
Various scenes from the four-part BBC series Marriage, starring Sean Bean and Nicola Walker, were filmed in the town.
As well as the popular filming location of Old Town, a number of scenes were filmed at Bellway’s The Foundry housing development at the West Herts College campus in Hemel.
The Foundry development and the housebuilder Bellway have donated all the filming fees to charity.
Donations of £500 have been made to Herts Young Homeless and Emmaus Hertfordshire, with the remaining money given to Bellway’s national charity partner since 2016, Cancer Research UK.
Zoe Dobbs, sales manager for Bellway North London, said: “We were delighted to welcome the BBC and even more delighted that we can use the filming fee to help those in need.
“Homelessness is something that hundreds of people are faced with across the UK, and it is charities like Emmaus Hertfordshire and Herts Young Homeless which provide vital support.”
