The pictures for this blog were sadly omitted from the first posting and Brian has added a bit of text. Nick was right all along! (See comment below)
Pyramids and funny sticks
Oh dear! Big bruv John, can I borrow your specs??
See stills: WD 027/ WD 027n.
"Nick Gilbey suggests that this is the bridge over the railway line, from Burnley to Colne. But the then pic, doesn't have a pyramid on the end. MMMmmm?"
The pyramid and the funny stick things are on the end of that bridge!

Don't be too picky Mr T, after all, we're doing our best. If you knows of a better bridge, we'll be happy to include it.
For example, look at Optimists of Nine Elms, pics op048, op054 and op057, where there are differences between what was, and what is.
After 50-odd years some change is inevitable. Even I, am succumbing to time!

Hi John
‘Pyramids’ are just the final pieces of the puzzle and perhaps in this case- cause confusion. The railway bridge in question is definitely the one in the film because it is at the end of Heald road, Burnley, and that is where the playground was. As the railway bridge features in the same scene as the playground it must be the right one.
I did email you a map and photos sometime ago to prove my point and perhaps convince your brother.
Regards
Nick Gilbey
