Can you help:
If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.
We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

The main gate to Wandsworth Prison on Heathfield Road in Wandsworth. The popular location features in many films including ‘There Was a Crooked Man’, ‘The Cracksman’, ‘Calculated Risk’, ‘Law and Disorder’, ‘Out of the Fog’, 'Face of a Stranger', ‘The Criminal’, ‘Saloon Bar’, 'The Time of His Life' and ‘Poor Cow’.
If only they had kept the same parking bays. The wall, as we know, is another subject.(RL)

This really looks like Battersea, but they say that this style of gasometer, or gasholder was a German pattern, and several of them were in use in London, some 30 odd years ago. Neil Rigby courtesy of "Harryshand" Britmovie advises that this is/was Lavie Mews, London W10 now redeveloped. (RL)

"From what’s now Murchison Gardens, looking north west towards the former location of the Kensal Green gasworks, also seen in I Was Happy Here cap51. The site of Lavie Mews has been recently redeveloped. The original vantage point for this capture lies within the new building. I’m standing just in front of the building on what would have been the location of the warehouse in Lavie Mews." Richard Bennett/RB. (SJ)

"This one is looking south east from Lavie Mews through the gap between 1 Murchison Road and 382-386 Portobello Road. Now redeveloped." RB on the case. (SJ)

In front of the Priory Tavern public house at the corner of Belsize Road and Kilburn Vale. The background building and corner were seen in 'The Square Ring'.
Another comparison of the same corner. Complete with refurbishment in progress. (PW)

RB presents a scaffolding-free shot. "There were originally three arched doorways, as seen in The Square Ring. By 1972, the left one had been partially bricked up. The right hand opening is hidden behind the actor. The centre of the three doorways has since been similarly partially bricked up. The height of the top of the left hand and centre arches differs, and the centre and right hand arches are separated by a small arched window." (SJ)
