In the scene where the snipers are deployed to take out the grizzly bear they take up their positions on a rooftop

That rooftop is right in the heart of Sheffield City Centre on top of The Workstation on Paternoster Row and looking away from the train station towards Brown Street

The Workstation at the time was home to Warp Films

If walls could talk the Workstation would certainly have some tales to tell! Warp Films used the roof of the building to film scenes in Four Lions, The Human League used to rehearse in the basement, the Arctic Monkeys made a music video here, the auditions for Prisoners’ Wives took place on the third floor and Richard Hawley’s old band The Longpigs used to call office 103 home.
