The actor, 39, who has been cast as villainous man from Dublin in the drama series, stood outside the derelict Newsham Park Hospital. 

He wore a scruffy outfit consisting of a dirty white top, an unbuttoned waistcoat and purple trousers. 

James had a green trench coat layered over the top and finished his 19th century look was completed with a pair of leather boots. 

Signs lined the street which read 'danger demolition in progress,' with the Guinness logo and various newspapers plastered on the walls. 

He was seen looking deep in though as he leaned on a wall while the crew blew smoke on to the set.

James was first pictured on set in July as he viciously kicked a co-star on the streets of Liverpool. 

The Netflix show will be set between Dublin and New York during the 19th century, beginning after the death of Benjamin Guinness - who is credited with the brewery's early success.

From Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, the series will chronicle the extraordinary success of the family behind the famous Irish brewery, which was founded back in 1759 by Arthur Guinness.

But behind the story of wealth and prosperity lies a tragic tale of seemingly endless misfortune for the family.

From Tara Browne, who died following a car crash in South Kensington, to scandalous affairs and divorces and the tragic drowning of Honor Uloth aged just 19 in 2020, the family seems to have been dealt a series of devastating blows.

The personal losses faced by the Guinnesses have become so infamous that it is thought to be 'cursed', despite holding a fortune of over £900million today.

Creator Steven Knight commented: 'The Guinness dynasty is known the world over – wealth, poverty, power, influence, and great tragedy are all intertwined to create a rich tapestry of material to draw from.

'I've always been fascinated by their stories and am excited to bring the characters to life for the world to see.'
