Netflix The Crown: Back filming at Winchester College for Easter?
People hoping to park in Romans Road on Monday, April 3 had to find somewhere else with around 10 white lorries lining the street by Winchester College Sports Centre.
A passing pedestrian spotted the security guards and Facilities by ADF tech vehicles, identical to those that have been used for filming The Crown, at around 10.30am.
A photograph shows the same “location” sign placed on the dashboard inside one of the vehicles that were previously spotted when the film crew took over College Walk in February.
An employee, who asked not to be named, from P & G Wells, in College Street, said they weren’t told of any further filming for the royal show but that’s what they assumed it was when they couldn’t find a space to park.
Commenting on a photo of the lorries posted on the Facebook[2] group Winchester Pics, Sharon Pedley, said: “This is going on all through Easter.”
Netflix has been contacted for comment.
Winchester City Council parking office said there is a large bay suspension along Romans Road from March 28 until April 13.
The hit show is currently filming its sixth series and has used Winchester Cathedral and the school throughout the year as substitutes for Westminster Abbey and Eton College.
With the return of the film crew trucks, people believe that Netflix is using the college grounds once again.
