Recreating Gotham

Have you ever wondered how film sets are set up in the middle of big cities?

Well a few years ago, the mean streets of Manchester were turned into a 1940's US landscape for some superhero movies (it may have been Captain America, but I'm not sure), and I happened to be there and took some pictures .....

    I just watched Wings of the Dove and was impressed by the all of the period scenes including the London Underground (in the 1930s?).
