Personal Affair

Bedford Bridge in Bedford, Bedfordshire.

Taken from a bit lower, being without my crane. Looking northwest over the Great Ouse. SJ

Bedford Bridge with the Swan Hotel across the River Ouse advises SJ with Nic Adair adding that the shot was taken from The Anglers Inn, formally the Bridge Hotel, which was demolished in 1980.

Tricky to replicate, Nic achieved the comparison by flying a drone at 5.30 in the morning, with the healthy overgrown foliage adding to the hazard.

Rudford College. Steve Randall has identified the background building as Strawberry Hill House, a Gothic Revival villa in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The house can also be seen in 'Villain', 'Eat the Rich', 'Bullseye!', 'The Trygon Factor' and 'Father Brown'. (RL)

Weir Walk. Hambleden Weir, Buckinghamshire. (RL)

At long last I was able to experience the site first hand. (RL)

Weir Gate. Hambleden Weir, Buckinghamshire, a location that also appears in 'The Christmas Tree'. (RL)

The wooden railing has given way to something more substantial. (RL)

Johns Weir Walk. Hambleden Weir, Buckinghamshire. (RL)

A very dramatic yet restful scene. (RL)

Outside the old Police Station and Magistrates Court, Windsor End in Beaconsfield Old Town, Buckinghamshire. The building also appears in 'The Man in the Road' and 'Bomb in the High Street'.

The detail above the door remains in Antony Blair's view.

Bedford shops... The column on the left of the picture belongs to Phoenix Chambers, High Street Bedford, just near where the High Street meets Castle Lane, info from David Seabrooke.

A sharp grab indeed as The Phoenix Chambers on the left side barely appears in my copy of the film, but here it is now. SJ

More Bedford shops.

Following the sequence. In fact in the film a police car is scouring the High Street for "teenage" Glynis Johns who has gone missing and soon Leo Genn is going to come under suspicion. The bridge seen in 001 and 002 is just on the right of this frame (south). SJ

Yet more shops.

There is a cut to the police car and then we see more of the High Street, but this time it is further north so a bit of mucking around with the editing occurred. The top right seems to match agreeably here. SJ

Shops shops shops.

And this is much the same place, showing a match behind the traffic light, but here's a wider shot which shows all four bits of the sequence. SJ

Playground swings.

Church at night. The Parish Church of St. Mary and All Saints at Windsor End in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire identified by Greg Mishevski.

Antony Blair replaces Greg's Google views with this and the next original comparison shots.

Millhouse at Weir. Hambleden Weir, Buckinghamshire and the Mill that has now been converted into flats. (RL)

Geoff Dodd took this appropriately angled shot in 2008 not knowing that it would be required 11 years later. (RL)

The police station at night. Windsor End, Beaconsfield Old Town in Buckinghamshire.

The same building now by Antony Blair.

Millhouse and catwalk. Hambleden Weir, Buckinghamshire and the Mill that has now been converted into flats. (RL)

I could be tempted with an apartment there. (RL)

Tierney and Genn meet. Hambleden Weir, Buckinghamshire. (RL)

There are some nice riverside residences on that far bank. (RL)
