As stated in the Header Section all uncredited "now" shots are provided by Lionel and Cynthia Sear....including this one! (RL)

Nurse Linda Parker (Hazel Court) runs to meet Dr. Robert Blood (Ian Hunter) as he brings his car to a halt. Facing the Tinners Arms in Zennor.

An establishing shot of the derelict buildings above the old tin mine when an unknown person is conducting his experiments. Carn Galver Mine near Penwith, St. Just, Cornwall.

Carn Galver Mine on the B3306 west of Zennor. Whilst it is great to have sunshine it is not always in the right place. (RL)

Returning from Vienna, Dr. Blood's son arrives in the village. The road leading into Zennor from the B3306 near Churchtown Common.

Looking south on the eastern access road into Zennor. (RL)

Drawing up outside the surgery, Dr. Peter Blood (Kieron Moore) enters to find Nurse Parker and his father, who is delighted to see him.

This is 'Chy an Eglos' which would translate as 'Church House' or the 'Place of the Church' and it is next door to doblco004n. (RL)

Sergeant Cook (Kenneth J. Warren), Peter Blood and men from the village arrive at the disused mine to begin searching for George Beale.

Lionel and Cynthia Sear enjoyed a well earned day out without risking life and limb to capture this shot of Wheal Edward engine house now part of the Wheal Owles sett near Botallack, Cornwall. (RL)

Leaving the men of the village to search one part of the mine, Peter and the Sergeant move on to another section of the underground workings.

Peter drives Linda Parker back to the village after she meets him at the mine. Zennor, to the west of St. Ives, with St. Senara's Church to the left.

On the 'No Through Road' part of Zennor we are looking back towards the south with St. Senara's Church on the left and 'Bos Cres' on the right. (RL)

Following a speedy journey back to the village, Nurse Parker gets out of the car.

This house is seen looking north earlier. (RL)

Linda watches from her gate as a troubled Dr. Blood drives away. Zennor in Cornwall.

The same house. (RL)

Peter Blood returns to his father' house. Behind the car stands Bos Cres or "the house in the middle".

'Bos Cres'. (RL)

Returning to the mine to look for George Beale, Dr. Blood emerges from the workings.

The south west corner of Wheal Owles engine house as seen by Lionel and Cynthia but without Dr. Blood. (RL)

Without finding his escaped patient, the Doctor returns to Porthcarron. Zennor plays the part of the small community in Cornwall.

A few yards further north from earlier captures and looking north. (RL)

Mr. G. F. Morton (Gerald Lawson) stops work to speak with Peter.

The north west corner of the Old School House in Zennor, captured by Lionel and Cynthia who point out its change of use..... now the Village Hall. (RL)

The young Dr. Blood carries on homeward. Zennor with St. Senara's Church in the background.

A few yards north from doblco008n and looking at St. Senara's Church.

Peter tells Linda about how he became a Doctor as the two walk along the coast together.

An obscure one but we remembered it from our location searching for 'Night of the Eagle'. This is at the base of Cape Cornwall and at the south side. Just around the corner is the old Coastguard Lookout now in the hands of the National Coastwatch Institution. (RL)

On another day, Linda returns from a shopping trip before Peter turns up an takes her for a drive.

Outside of the 'Tinners Arms' looking west. And still no time to go inside. (RL)

When Moreton is reported missing, Sergeant Cook arrives to search the undertaker's home. The white building in the background is 'Bos Cres'.

The same as doblco008n but taken from higher up the hill. (RL)

Mourners depart after the funeral of George Beale. The grave yard of St. Senara's Church in Zennor.

The 'Old School House' is behind us as we look into St. Senara's Church burial ground. (RL)

Peter and Linda walk together as she explains how her husband died. To the left stands Zennor's former schoolhouse.

The 'Old School House' is on our left. Lionel and Cynthia acknowledge that they should have opened the gate for correctness. It seems like an excuse to visit the inside of the "Tinners Arms" to me! (RL)

A lone miner wheels a barrow of ore at Porthcarron mine.

Wheal Owles engine house from the south east taken by Lionel and Cynthia who remark that it was used in the most recent Poldark series. (RL)

Tregaye (Fred Johnson) struggles with the load as he scrapes a living working the old tin mine.

Lionel and Cynthia provide this further shot of Wheal Edward engine house from yet another angle, seen from Wheal Owles looking southwest. (RL)

Worrying that the miner will discover his secret, Dr. Blood questions Tregaye before murdering him.

Looking north from Wheal Owles towards Botallack Mine. Lionel and Cynthia remark that the area has been been cleaned up considerably and it looks as if a massive spoil heap has been removed. (RL)

Dr. Robert Blood heads to the pub to find his son. Zennor in Cornwall with the steps to St. Senara's Church in the background.

The steps to St Senara's Church with 'Bos Cres' just appearing on our left.

On the shore below the mine, police and Dr. Blood senior find Linda after she escapes from Peter.

This is 'Priest's Cove' immediately to the south of Cape Cornwall. Priest's Cove is open to the full force of the Atlantic so the loose boulders must get moved about quite a lot. The 'Brison Rocks' out to sea are the real giveaway. These were known to old time Cornish wags as 'General de Gaulle in the Bath' and when seen 'in the flesh' the resemblance is uncanny. (RL)
