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.

What a Carve Up! What a shame, only two locations and this is one of them. Sean Anderson found evidence that this is Bradwell station on Bradwell Road in Buckinghamshire. Opening in 1867, the station saw its last passenger in the autumn of 1964 before the line was completely closed in May 1967.

Outside the station, Sid Butler (Sid James) and Ernie Broughton (Kenneth Connor) get a lift . . . in a hearse. More than likely a studio set.

Towards the end of the film, the mansion is seen in the morning light. Andrew Mitchell recognised that the mansion is Taplow Court in Buckinghamshire, which was also seen in 'Night of the Eagle', 'The Calendar' and 'Baffled!', and adds "My father worked at Taplow Court from the 1960s to the 1980s and always used to point out shots of the house when it appeared in films."

David Copley provides this shot of the location looking west adding that not a lot has changed.
