These are documented but either private, too broad for a useful visit or only briefly used, so they do not have their own pages.
- Vera cottage on Holy Island
Private filming or working production setting. The exterior remains a private home. The rooms seen in the drama were recreated in a studio. Enjoy the public island without seeking out the residence.
- Wallsend and Killingworth production/police buildings
Private filming or working production setting. The drama’s incident-room settings used working production premises in Wallsend and later Killingworth. These buildings are outside public visitor itineraries.
- Blyth residential filming
Private filming or working production setting. Final-series filming used a private apartment setting in Blyth. It remains a residence, with no public visit offered here.
