ITV’s Vera will not continue into a 15th series after its star Brenda Blethyn leaves the show following two new episodes later this year.
Brenda has played Detective Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope since the show first started back in 2011 and, as these images show, has filmed scenes in different locations across Hartlepool over the years.
