The Bottle Yard Opens for Business

The Bottle Yard

The opening of The Bottle Yard, a 300,000 sq ft film production facility in the site of a former Harvey’s bottling factory and warehouse in Bristol was announced in November 2010 by the South West Regional Development Agency and Bristol City Council, with the news that director Alastair Siddon was to shoot his new film, The Dark Half, there.
