Just one discernible location in this production where the film’s Santley’s Circus passes a public house. The Coach & Horses, Newgate Street, Hertford, Hertfordshire, discovered by Steve Randall.

Denis Hoare needed no excuse to go for a nostalgic pint and found that little had changhed since the late '60's.....except the prices. The original screenshot shows 2 circus carts outside the pub, well Denis never saw any circus carts but he was assured the driver of the big white van parked in front had a dog. Good enough for us Denis. (RL)
