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.

A railway station, very small. Jon Horswell identifies this as Wargrave, on the Henley on Thames branch in Berkshire.

Contributor Andrew Price took an excellent updated location shot and also mentions that the Wargrave Station building was demolished in 1988.

Tantalisingly blurred sign/advertisement on the station side, as Linden and Redmond pass by. Wargrave station, located by Jon Horswell.

Andrew Price managed to pinpoint this location and submit an updated location image. He also states that the gate in the railings was where the information boards are now.

A country road, a possible clue to the area of the before and next. Phil Richards finds us on Drfift Road near Fifield, Oxfordshire. (RL)

Phil supports his identification with a comparative shot remarking that " The house on the left is much the same except a few chimneys have been removed. The Wakers farm & house on the right are much the same, as are the trees." (RL)

A distinctive gate entrance to a nice gaff. The distinctive gate of Lynden Manor, Holyport Rd, Holyport, Berkshire. (SR)

Linden's asylum. Establishment shot only: in fact much of the film comprises interiors. Another matte by Ray Caple says Alan Watt as well as a miniature set by Les Bowie and Ian Scoones, more of which can be viewed via the link in nighm007. (RL)

This shot had been missed out before site visitor Nicola Herbert pointed out its absence. In the story, Henry and Mrs Baxter stay in this luxury county house hotel, but things are starting to go wrong for them... Nicola also correctly identified the building as the Stirrups Hotel, Maiden's Green, Bracknell RG42 6LD. It is set within 10 acres of tranquil Berkshire countryside between Royal Windsor and Ascot.
