Locations used in films made in Great Britain 1920's to 1980's

A site devoted to British film locations, and the places where movies were made in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, in the years 1920's to the late 80's.

Movies, in fact, made more than 20 years ago, by such famous directors as Alfred Hitchcock, "39 Steps"; Alexander Korda, "Fallen Idol"; David Lean, "Ryan's Daughter"; Joseph Losey, "The Servant" and Michael Powell, "A Canterbury Tale". For such wonderful companies as Ealing Films, "Lavender Hill Mob"; J Arthur Rank,"Genevieve"; London Films, "Seven Days to Noon"; and Gainsborough, with "Millions Like Us". At the film studios at Denham, Pinewood, Merton and Elstree and with such famous actors as Stanley Baker, Dirk Bogard, and Noel Coward, and including such cinema classics as "Alfie", "The Blue Lamp", "Brief Encounter", "The Girl with Green Eyes", and hundreds of others which were made on location in the streets of London; "Children of the Damned"; Belfast, "Odd Man Out"; Birmingham, "Privilege"; Manchester, "Taste of Honey"; and Liverpool, "The Magnet". In the counties and villages of Kent; "Blythe Spirit"; Berkshire, "Carry on.........Everything"; Hertfordshire, "The Big Sleep"; and Buckinghamshire, "Fast Lady"; and sometimes on the Islands and Highlands themselves, but not "Whiskey Galore", which doesn't qualify because none of the scenes showing real streets had identifiable actors.

'ReelStreets' is concerned with the British Cinema in the sixty years between the 1920's and 1980's, which perhaps really was the "Golden Age"; but more, it is concerned with scenes which were shot outdoors in recognisable built-up locations, and which incorporated some of our favourite actors, and how not only these movie locations have changed in the intervening years, but also our accents, our clothes, our food and our houses.

In Simon James' new book, London Film Location Guide, are hundreds of films, addresses and photos. Including: 10 Rillington Place, 23 Paces to Baker Street, 101 Dalmations, Accident, Cool it Carol, Corruption, Criminal, Crossplot, Death Line, Diamonds,Doomwatch etc. and many "modern" films that will take us the next 20 years to include: 11 Harrowhouse, 28 Days Later, 84 Charing Cross Road, About a Boy, Avengers, Awakening, Backbeat, Basil, Bean, Betrayal, Blue Ice, Blue Juice, Borrowers, Bounty, Brazil, Bullseye, Business, Captives etc.

Reference under a still marked *SJ, information has come from Simon James' book.
