On this day in 2022, Hollywood star George Clooney was spotted directing his new film, "The Boys in the Boat", at a county council office in Hertfordshire.
Located less than 10 miles from Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield, Hertfordshire County Council indicated that the County Hall building is frequently chosen for filming due to its "historic architecture".
At the time, a council spokesperson confirmed that filming took place but could not disclose specific details about the film crews' activities.
They said: "We sometimes get requests for filming at County Hall, due to the historic and aesthetically pleasing nature of its architecture and surroundings, as has been the case this week.
"We cannot comment on the filming itself."
