Here’s a report from a local observer:
“Over the last four days a lot of tents have been erected below the Helm’s Deep set. I believe it is not long til they arrive with all their equipment. The tent city is situated on a small landfill off Benmore Ave. in Manor Park. There are a couple of hire trucks that have brought in the gear, wooden floors, tables & chairs etc.
At the Helms set there has been a hive of activity. Lots of people up there, more than usual. It all looks very impressive as things seem to have stepped up a gear. I live on the hill opposite the set….where I am able to see what is happening daily….
So if the filming at Harcourt Park was anything to go by, the next month is going to go off!”
