where is brassic set

Brassic is set in Hawley, a fictional northern town inspired by the real town of Chorley in Lancashire, England. The setting has a "forgotten town" and former mill town feel, reflecting a place that once had prosperous businesses and full employment. The fictional town of Hawley is portrayed through filming mainly in the Lancashire town of Bacup, which stands in for Hawley. Bacup is located near the border of Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire. The filming also includes locations in Manchester and other nearby areas such as Bolton, Salford, Cheshire, West Yorkshire, and Ashton-under-Lyne. The Star and Garter pub in Manchester is used for interior pub scenes, and Salford University’s Frederick Road Campus is used for doctor's surgery scenes.
