The shots used of the staff room and hall in the Beiderbecke Tapes were in fact that of Moor Grange County Secondary School in Ireland Wood.

In the series, references were made to the fictional inner-city school being run-down in the later decades of its use.

The internal buildings and school grounds were used for filming in the CITV series "Adam's Family Tree" which aired between 1997 and 1999.

Many prefabricated 'Cedarwood' houses in the area are abandoned and likely to be demolished in the near future raising the possibility that the site may be redeveloped as part of a wider scheme.
