locations for The Servant etc

Nick

How kind of you to write;

Hi there
just browsing & came across your fascinating web site - London-spotting, particularly in 60s films, is one of my interests

...................goody

fyi it's not Paddington in The Servant (it wouldn't be as Sarah Miles character is coming down from "the north") at http://www.reelstreets.com/servant.htm - it's St Pancras which still looks just as it did then - also I presume the concourse is St Pancras

..................I was told that Pic 6 was Paddington, but as you correctly point out Pic 11 is St Pancras, my error. Thanks for the correction

shots 7 & 8 are Lowndes St in Belgravia

................I've always fancied Craven Terrace area, near Lancaster Gate myself. We'll have to wait for the photographic evidence

also the so-called country house (not pictured) is actually Chiswick House - sorry I've been huge fan of this film for over 20 years & even (sadly!) know buts of the script by heart!!

.............and Chiswick House, which is in West London near the area where Darling was filmed

turning to another of my favourites - you have answered some of my location questions re Darling (http://www.reelstreets.com/darling.htm) - I can provide a photo of the Glass Building (15) as it was c1995 before demolition -

...............that would be good, thanks

I've always assumed 17 was Green Park tube station (which is adjacent to the other end of Bond St)

....................yes, but evidence?

I see people thought the location in Darling for Bogarde & Christie's early trysts was Chiswick but it wasn't - interestingly,

...............do you mean pics 10 -14? Strand on the Green Chiswick? So if it wasn't, where was it?

the external location of Dirk Bogarde's home in Victim (1961) really was Chiswick by the river (Victim is a v location-full film)

............yes, its on our list, some of the pics have been taken ...................BUT, time, time, time

hope that's of use

.................yes, thankyou so much, it all adds a piece to the jigsaw.

- do you really provide £10 for each photo?

................have I lied to you before?

might be worth my while doing a bit of photo-journalism on that basis...

................it might just

...............Best wishes to you, and thanks again. ................John Tunstill

Hello film sleuths,

Summer is upon us, I'm on holiday until early September, as are my helpers. The site is going from strength to strength, and more "now" stills are coming in than I can cope with. So we won't be replying to many emails or loading many new films in the next six weeks. Sorry, but it is a "free and non-profit" site.

However, if you would like to become a regional helper, I'd be very pleased to have some support. As the site gets larger we can get advertising sponsorship, or even do the "book of the film", and, whilst we can't be seen to be making a profit, because of the copyright nature of the film stills that we put on the site, we are allowed to pay our expenses. I can therefore pay for the site hosting, I can buy films, I can pay staff, or helpers for their time and work or travelling expenses, and the use of their computers, video machines, printers, cameras, programmes etc etc etc, and also pay our webbies and techies. I can produce a book, or series of books, for use, or sale by, or in conjunction with, local tourist boards, offices or agencies; as long as we make no profit. We just pay our wages and expenses.

My helpers will receive from me copies of films shot in their areas, they will be required to link their computers to their VHS player, or DVD player, in order to obtain the stills, they then make the pictures in the correct size for passing onto Mike and Ruth, our techies. At the same time titles have to be produced to back up the pictures, probable locations, and background on the film and its actors etc.

Full details and requirements will be produced and sent to those interested.

Helpers, Regional Managers perhaps, will be expected to promote their own local films via local media, press, newspapers and journals, cinema and film clubs and societies, local history groups, libraries, universities etc etc, and try and obtain copies of the films on our wants list to enlarge the site even further. We'll send templates of the sort of information that newspapers, editors, clubs and societies want, and a basic "standard" article with local "hooks" to attract the attention of local editors.

For all of this, eventually, we will, hopefully, all get paid, our "expenses", as well, but, in the meantime we will have established ourselves as a worthwhile force of enthusiasts who are interested in the locations used in old British movies..............and why not bring in TV as well................if there is the help and enthusiasm available.

I, as many of you know live in Italy, I run a property business, www.propertiesumbria.com, a luxury guest house, www.lapreghiera.com, have a collection of lead soldiers, www.soldierssoldiers.com, a collection of Italian postcards, www.cartolinetunstill.com, a website about Umbria, central Italy, www.tunstillsumbria.com, and a site about the English language and its curiosities, www.tunstillsdislexicon.com, so, quite apart from www.reelstreets.com I keep fairly busy, hence my holiday coming up now.

Regional Managers could also take advantage of an annual gathering at La Preghiera, flights and accommodation, food and drink all hopefully all paid out of the Reel Streets income, once we start earning some money.

So, what do you think? Do you want to come aboard? Have you the time? Have you the interest? Have you the commitment? Hope so. Let's hear from you.

Best wishes from sunny Italy. A bit too sunny today, about 40 Celcius, 110 Farenheight or so!!!!!!

John Tunstill

PS. I'll be in England for about a month in August, and visiting a whole lot of film sites, so could meet up with anyone who wants to organise a film location hunting session, or talk about the possibility of YOU becoming the new Regional Manager for your area.

If we do organise meetings bring, wear or carry something YELLOW, so that we shouldn't have too much difficulty in recognising each other.

Every Little Helps

Herewith a few bits and pieces copied from my entries on: www.madcornishprojectionist.co.uk/anthology.php which is really devoted to cinemas, projection boxes and projectionists appearing in films:

A Clockwork Orange - - Lecture Theatre 'E' at Brunel University was used for the 'aversion therapy' scene. The Hortson Languedoc 16mm projection outfit used is now in the museum of the PPT. (Projected Picture Trust at Bletchley Park)
My colleague John Bates still works at Brunel and was the projectionist for that sequence. I have pix of the Hortson in the box at Brunel and being 'handed over' at the PPT - although in the film you only saw the front of it.

I've just sent John out to photograph the locations for 'Hell Drivers' which were all round here. His dad drove a lorry around Pinewood in the 1960s.

A Kind of Loving - - Exteriors of the Walpole, Ealing. The foyer was decorated especially for the shoot. To which can be added night exteriors at Brentford Station

Account Rendered (1957) - - Andrew Ward says 'I may be wrong on this one, but I think the Gaumont/Odeon/Liberty/Himalaya Palace Southall appears as a major location.'

An American Werewolf in London - - Exterior of The Eros Piccadilly. The interiors, however, were shot in the studio.

Blue Lamp - There's that little cinema on the corner of Harrow Road and Amberley Road (the auditorium's still there). The cinema was the Coliseum, 324 Harrow Road, Paddington which had a Seating Capacity of 800. Featrured in the film 'The Blue Lamp', as did the Metropole Theatre, Edgware Road and closed 1956. It is now demolished and site redeveloped. Andrew who gave me this information also says that the website for the movie 'The Blue Lamp' website
www.wickedlady.com/films/wwwboard/messages/1592.html
where various people were trying to locate the actual location, some putting it a far away as Manor Park.

Carry On At Your Convenience - was the 'Carry On' which showed an all-too-obvious double for Barbara Windsor riding off on a motorcycle from the front of the (first) Odeon Uxbridge. This information from www.wheredidtheyfilmthat.co.uk.

Darling - - The Classic Notting Hill Gate appears in the background.

The Comic Strip Presents - - 1980s TV series. One episode filmed in around and on top of (!) the Rembrandt (ABC) Ewell. Several scenes in the box. One character operates the tab control.

The Family Way (1966) - - Hywel Bennett plays a projectionist who marries Hayley Mills and they fail to consummate the marriage, a great scene where he has a punch up with The Chief. Exteriors shot at The Ambassador Slough(close to Pinewood) the lines in the carpark were painted to look good on camera but in real life cars couldn't fit in them. Don't know where the box was filmed, but it wasn't Slough, which had GK 21s with President Arcs.

The Little Ones - - The kids walk across the front and down the side of the Essoldo Shepherds Bush. This building is still there, as an Australian pub and still shows down the side something along the lines of 'continuous performance, all seats 6d and 1/-'

Theatre of Blood - The Hippodrome's (Putney) exteriors and interiors featured in this 1973 comedy/mystery/horror which starred Vincent Price as Edward Lionheart. There are curious judders in continuity as stacks of burning seats in the stalls signal the end of Lionheart's murderous career. Andrew who gave me this information has a personal account from the filming of this: "I was working in Putney at the time the film was in production and walked down Felsham Road one day to find an exterior shoot in progress. Vincent Price's double was 'escaping' across the roof of the 'blazing' theatre with a dummy lady over, and attached to, his shoulder. Price himself was in a comfortable chair onthe pavement elegantly and appreciatively sipping a cup of tea, joining in the applause of the stand-in at the end of the take. I looked at him and thought: 'Hasn't he got big feet !'"

Wish You Were Here - - Tom Bell plays the seedy projectionist at the Dome Worthing. Simplex + Peerless Magnarcs.

Yanks - - The auditorium, and Compton cinema organ of the Davenport, Stockport (see www.joycealldred.org.uk/page8.htm}. Andrew Ward believes that the end titles may credit 'The Three Js Leisure Centre', Gomersal, another venue which burned down shortly after.

WOW, what a mine of information, thanks a lot Andrew, look forward to the Hell Drivers photos, BUT, they must have real streets, or real buildings in them, and one of the actors, country lanes, green fields, trees, hillsides are no good, we can't relate then and now to them.

Every Little Helps

Andrew
What a stack of wonderful information, and as you say, every little bit helps.
Thanks a bunch, John

Well spotted Fred, yes, you're correct, but in defence, us Lambethians always referred to the whole street as The Cut, but yes, you are correct.

Thanks, john

The Sandwich Man - location

I notice that you have the wonderful old 1966 film The Sandwich Man listed on your site at www.reelstreets.com/londonr-z.htm
A lot of the scenery from the film will be very familiar to most people who know London - Upper Regent Street near the monument, Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall and so on - but there's one particular scene that has always troubled me since I first saw the film a few years ago. I lived in London for seven years, but I have no idea where it is - it's the public toilet where the drunken city gent mistakenly goes into the ladies - pic here:
homepage.ntlworld.com/jgibbon/images/where1.jpg

I would gladly provide the required tenner if one of your readers could identify the location!
Best wishes, James

Well James
You owe ME the tenner............just by Coram Fields, is it Brunswick Square or Grenville Street WC1
How was that for instant recognition

This is the first money to flow in to Reel Streets, up until now it has always gone the other way, at the rate of about £750 a month .............. quite a lot to spend on my hobby ................. just don't tell Liliana, 'er indoors!!!

Dambusters photo

Hi,

I’m sending information on “The Dambusters” location you would like to identify.

It is Derwent Reservoir, Derwent Valley Derbyshire. Derwent Reservoir is between Howden and Ladybower Reservoirs. They lie just North of the A57 halfway between Sheffield and Glossop. In the summer the tower nearest to the camera is home to a Dambusters exhibition. The reservoirs dam wall is also featured in another film - The Virgin and the Gypsy (1969)- this is the view you see in my photo.



Hope this is of help to you.

The Way We Were

Did anyone record 14th july 2005... ITV "The Way We Were"?
It featured the story of Jamaican newlyweds in Brixton, London in the early sixties. Lots of shots featuring Coldharbour Lane and Brixton Road Registry Office with the happy couple getting into their top of the range Ford Zephyr/Zodiac.

Little Brother Brian.

today's question

OK bloggers....................today's question.............what does the "J" stand for in Sidney J Furie; director of The Leather Boys, Tiger Bay and the Ipcress File, to name but a few; stand for, please?

John Tunstill

Rita Sue and Bob too

What about "Rita Sue and Bob Too"?
.................Yes, it's on the list thanks, but made 1986, and as we have a 20 year time lag it won't be entered until next year. Do you have a copy? Will you swop it for something?

Lots of real locations in this,- in fact until recently the Luna Radio cars was still there, Luna Radio cars was up Leeds Road in Bradford on the left going up the hill about half way up, also the council flats Bob Sue and Rita were filmed at were at Buttershaw, a rough estate in Bradford. Also the part in the film when Bob squares up to Sue's father is outside the flats in Buttershaw. Also has Baildon, Haworth main street and other parts of the Bradford district.
............and Halifax

The lady who played Sue's mum was Maureen Long who was previously, in real life, a prostitute and was attacked by Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, but survived the attack.
................What a lucky lady, or perhaps what an unlucky lady.

Genevieve, The Jolly Woodman

Hello John,

I just found your website via Google, looking for pictures of The Jolly Woodman pub at Littleworth Common, which featured the film "Genevieve". I can help you with picture 23 - it's Hillingdon Road, Uxbridge, running alongside the RAF Station, not far from the junction with The Greenway. It's now dual carriageway and I can easily take a picture if you'd like one. I live about 18 miles away now, but at the time the film was shot I lived close by and I remember the roadworks well! My father took me to see the film in the early 50's and the actual car was on display in the Norman Reeves garage in Uxbridge High Street for a good few years.

Thanks for the website - I'm now going to explore it. Hopefully I might be able to help more because where I lived was close to Pinewood, Denham and Ealing studios

Best wishes, Peter Taylor

Billy Liar Locations

I know, from memory, that war scenes in the movie were filmed in the Armley Road district of Leeds, not too far from the still existing prison. This was because the area was being demolished to make way for new dwellings. The filming also figured in at least one news item in the Yorkshire Evening Post.
This is all from memory, and I hope that it may be of some use to your endeavours. Ken.

Spring and Port Wine #2

I took my Spring and Port Wine trip to Bolton today and took pictures of the steps leading up to Grisdale Road from Herob Street and also Grisdale Road as well.

...................Well done

I tried to match them as closely as possible to the stills you used on the site.

.................Very necessary

I also photographed Woodside Place which is where the Gorse Steps are. Again I tried to match it to your stills and I also took some tongue in cheek pics of the step that James Mason is standing on in your still photo as he goes down the steps.

................Good, but whose tongue in whose cheek? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

I will try and find a way of scanning the pics. All in all I should have photos of:
- the road outside Maryon Park that was used in Antonioni's Blow Up, but now changed beyond recognition, I couldn't find any buildings that I could identify.
- the London road where Jack Nicholson's house was in another Antonioni film, The Passenger.

..............My Halliwell says its all about Africa and the desert!!! Tell me more please. Have you got a copy that I can swop for something?

- the road that was used for the school at the start of The Offence.

.................Sounds good, and again is there a copy for swops?

- the 'flat block marina' walkway where Alex attacked his droogs in A Clockwork Orange.

...............Thamesmead, good one.

- the road in Bristol where Alan Bates lived in A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.

...............In my copy of the film I could never get a shot where there were film stars actually in shot with identifiable backgrounds.

In some cases I will have more than one and sometimes several photos.

...................all the better

I can take a photo of Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester and hopefully that will match with the still of Julie Christie's entrance in Billy Liar. It may be difficult to compare because the area has changed a lot even in the last few years.

.................good, and try hard.

Hopefully that pic alone might earn me 10 quid; hint, hint....

................hopefully several of the pics will earn you a tenner.

I also have a photo of the Salford house where Albert Finney was born but as it was not used in a film (well not to my knowledge anyway) I doubt it qualifies!!

.................no, it doesnt qualify, but we can put it on site with a credit to you. All these things, after all are of interest.

Best wishes, David

P.S. How did you find out that the steps leading up to the house in Spring and Port Wine were between 51 and 53 Grisdale Road? That's exactly right!!

.....................on the website that is mentioned on the page.

I'm surprised that whoever knew this didn't take photos.

..................Well, there's nowt so queer as folk.
How are you managing to zoom around the country? Hellicopter?

John

Spring and Port Wine

Hello

Photo no.19 with Julie Christie making her cringeworthy entrance is actually Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester.
A few moments earlier in the film there is a tracking shot of Albert Square in Manchester as well.

Compliments on a great site
David
P.S. I have photos of Maryon Park used in Blow Up if you're interested although I don't know how to scan them

Would the pictures of Maryon Park used in Blow Up be included or does it have to be pictures of streets?

......................Parks and public buildings don't change very much, so real streets please.

I think I have some photos of the road outside the park and of the building that used to be the antiques shop (its now a disused former camping shop)

.....................yes, this would be interesting please, but all has now
gone and a new housing estate has taken its place.

I've noticed that you have quite a big page for Spring and Port Wine which I
saw on TV a few years ago.
The locations have been found but there are no new photos of the area. I live in the North West, would you like some photos of it?

......................yes indeedy.

Also I was in Bracknell recently and took photos of a location that was used in the Sean Connery film, 'The Offence'. I don't know if you would be interested in them as well.

...................1972, but didn't know it was Bracknell, yes please

I don't have a digital camera so I would need to scan photos and then send them to you.

..................OK

When I scan a photo it is normally about 2Mb in size. Do you have any tips on how I can make them smaller and easier to email without losing a lot of picture quality?

.................try reducing the size of the scan file. Normally there is a button to choose black and white, text, colour print, colour photo etc etc, and nearby another button for file size, usually between about 70 and 300.
Try using a smaller file size, try 150, try 100, try 75 and view the results. Perhaps in photoshop or something similar.

In the Photo programme there should be a button for image size, try experimenting with a size of 480 pixels, or 72 dpi and a file size of about 100.

Look forward to your efforts
Best wishes, John

The Plank

I wonder if you could help me,
I am moving to walton on thames, and have been informed that the 1967 b/w version of the plank was filmed in the area, with particular refrence to the lumber yard where the plank comes from, is supposed to have been filmed at the churchfield road lumber yard.

Are you able to offer a definative answer or point me in the right direction.

I know about the robin hood tv series history, but the plank makes me wonder...

your help is appreciated
richard jones

But of course the Plank was a short, only I believe some 60 mins, BUT, if someone has info we'll happily include it

This Sporting Life

Dianne Hoole here - sorry to bug you again - just to confirm that the stills at the Rugby Club were taken at Thrum Hall Halifax - note the Websters (Halifax) Brewery logo on the stand roof.........

.........the match sequences were filmed at Wakefield Trinity's home ground Belle Vue - fyi Beverley's brewery logo was on their roof, I don't know if this was shown in the film.

Anyway we should be taking the photos this week in the churchyard and will mail you as soon as.

Take care

Pool of London, Prize of Gold

Both Pool of London (1951) & Prize of Gold (1955) had scenes shot within yards of each other in Royal Mint Street. The first, in the street and in The Crown & Seven Stars pub; the second, in the street and in Goldschmid's (Transport) yard. Richard Widmark, the star of Prize, runs into the court leading to Chamber Street and exits somewhere in Shadwell! I, as a naughty schoolboy, had to leave my mark somehow and was responsible for an erratically jumping window in Prize.

Astonished Heart pix no.7

Greetings
Just discovered your very interesting and delightful site of film streets location in British films.

In Astonished Heart, pix No, 7, I don't think that is Marylebone station as hinted in the into. It looks like Paddington to me.

I live in the US, moved here in 1960. But I am fairly sure pix no.7 is Paddington. Perhaps someone else has beaten me to it on this pix.

Charlie Bubbles

Fascinated by your website - excellent, so interesting to learn more about the locations used in British films. The Billy Liar pages are wonderful.

Suppose you already know this, but the scene in 'Charlie Bubbles' where Albert Finney stops his car, gets out and is sick by the roadside was filmed on Lancashire Hill in Stockport, Cheshire. The exact spot is on the opposite side of the road to Pendlebury Hall. There was a small graveyard there in those days, near to the Nicholson's Arms pub. Always smile when I drive past there.

Keep up the good work - great stuff.

Best regards

1937 Film 'Oh Mr. Porter'

Hello there
Don't know if this is somewhere else, but I've just been looking at your Irish section and Oh Mr Porter was actually filmed for the most part on the disused Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway, 'Buggleskelly' station being Cliddesden, outside Basingstoke. The platform still remains.

Thanks for a v interesting website
