                        Oliver Twist.
  Not so long ago 
                          Alston took a starring role in the Alan Bleasdale adaptation of 
                          Oliver Twist shown on ITV. For a few weeks Alston's own identity 
                          was concealed behind the façade of Bruntmarsh and all our lives 
                          became inextricably linked with the making of the film. Sometimes 
                          it was difficult to separate fiction from reality. A town trail 
                          was set up to allow visitors to the town to see how the town was 
                          used. Although the town is now back to normal and the trail is 
                          officially over you can still visit the website to find out more 
                          information.
