Emrys Jones is arrested outside the pub. The long demolished The Cannon public house, 80 Queen Caroline Street in Hammersmith W6 which also appears in 'No Trace', 'Cosh Boy', 'Mandy' and 'Home to Danger'. (RL)
At least I just managed to have the tower of St. Paul's in the right place. (RL)

A shot of Jones's house, supposedly close to the establishing shots and overlooking the sea in other studio looking scenes... Steve Marketis suggests that as it's set in the film's Tolperro, maybe this can be found in Polperro which is after all not too far from the establishing shots of Looe.

Jones emerges from a corner shop. Geoffrey Ellis, as one of the young lads looking into the window in the screen capture has resolved this long outstanding location. It is on the corner of Wharf Road and Frimley Green Road, Camberley, Surrey. Geoffrey, as a young lad "would go to the shop for ice cream, that had to be ordered in. You could only have one a week. I would also buy a penny bag of Smith's broken crisps". As with Geoffrey one is left to wonder why they chose to film at Frimley Green. (RL)
Steve Randall took this shot to replace the Google Earth View from Geoffrey Ellis who identified the location back in 2018. (RL)

Also by the riverside...the riverside has a removable high-tide / flood barrier in the sea / river wall. Maybe significant. JT Jules Ballantyne found it, riverside indeed, Lower Mall, Hammersmith W6 with Furnival Gardens behind.
Some re-development but some excellent conservation as well, including two pubs! (RL)
