IT APPEARS television star Millie Bobby Brown has made a return to her childhood hometown.

A picture of the teenage actress, known for her portrayal of Eleven in Netflix sci-fi series Stanger Things, at a coastal scene was posted on her official Instagram page over the weekend.

The image appears to have been taken from the pedestrian walkway on Bournemouth Pier, with Poole Bay and the West Cliff in the background.

The 15-year-old star is believed to have lived in the Winton area when she was younger.

Brown was born in Spain and was raised by parents, Robert, a former estate agent, her mother, Kelly, older sister, Paige, and brother, Charlie. She attended primary school in Bournemouth before the family moved to Florida when Millie was eight, when her father started up a new business.

She is due to resume her role as Madison Russell in film Godzilla vs. Kong, which is due to screen in cinemas towards the end of the year.

Filming for a fourth season of Stranger Things reportedly started last month and is slated to take place until August.
