Bolton School lands itself a new TV role-this time for a new coffee chain commercial
Cool beans!
Bolton School has another starring role on TV - this time in the new Costa Coffee advert.
The beautiful facade of the building and the interior of the historic school is used to depict a university in the commercial for the popular coffee chain.
It is the latest role for the Chorley New Road school, which has been a go to location for production teams in recent years, and featured on some of the biggest TV dramas.
In the new advertisement entitled 'Made with Heart", filming takes place outside and inside of the school, one of the best in the country.
The minute long video follows the journey of a young girl, who is beginning life at university and finds solace and friendship in a Costa Coffee shop.
A spokesperson for Bolton School said: 'We know that filming in iconic Bolton locations is great for the town in terms of civic pride and the local economy and we are pleased that the beautiful buildings at our school, both old and new, are attractive to a wide range of film makers.
