Can you identify these Sheffield city centre back streets from the Four Lions movie?

First one is Debenhams loading bay. never knew what they called that little street.

Second one, I believe, is looking across from Wickes, to Cumberland Street and the entrance to the backs of the shops on The Moor.

Third one back on the road behind Debenhams, looking at their loading bay again.

The last one has me stumped. I would have said it was the same location but it seems much darker than it should be as though it's under a fairly wide bridge.

That's fantastic thank you!
I thought it was the street where Donna Hartley had her fitness studio - is that the one?

1st on the old Rockingham Close, just off Rockingham Street (where Primark now stands):

2nd, the other end of Rockingham Close (between China Red/the old Plug Box Office, looking at where Primark now stands):

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3765985,-1.473929,3a,37.5y,29.36h,91.42t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1siBFStLe0xdjt3DKvYbnMPQ!2e0!5s20120601T000000!7i13312!8i6656

I believe the other two are in the same area (the old Rockingham Close/now Primark — the same folding gates in the background of each shot)

Same street (old Rockingham Close).  



Yeah - it's annoying google streets doesn't go that far down

Actually - I wonder if those doors were the doors to Donna Hartley's fitness club?

Yes, It is the same street but The door to Donna Hartley's fitness club was Just round the corner (opposite Dixons shop) between the top view and The Moor.

It had no back door other than a fire escape because it wasn't at ground level.

Donna Hartley took over the Gym which was previously known as The Gateway to Health and I used to train there in the 60's
