Filming for a special one-off episode of Detectorists in Suffolk has finished.

Cast and crew had been spotted on a number of occasions in east Suffolk and Saxmundham railway station was even temporarily renamed Henburystone as part of the filming.

Actress Laura Checkley confirmed that filming had finished with a post on her Instagram yesterday (September 14).

The BAFTA award-winning series stars Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones and tells the tale of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club, with series one and two filmed in and around Framlingham between 2014 and 2017.

It follows the highs and lows – mostly lows – of two keen amateur metal detectorists as they amble across the countryside, searching for any kind of life-changing treasure, all the while trying to deal with the women in their lives.

A superfan bumped into some of the cast in Rendlesham while he was wearing some of the show's merchandise.

The make-believe metal detecting club previously made St Michael's Rooms in Framlingham their home, but the building was demolished last year.
