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.

The film opens with the view from a van as Ron (Derren Nesbitt) and the Boy (Alan Guy) drive towards the home of Bank Manager Martin Hammond. This is Towncourt Crescent, Petts Wood, Kent.

The view from a Toyota Auris. SJ

The junction of Towncourt Crescent and Birchwood Road in Petts Wood, Orpington.

And Hazlemere Road. SJ

Crossway in Petts Wood with Christ Church visible in the distance.

Slightly closer to catch Christ Church on Petts Wood Road behind the tree. SJ

The two draw near to the Hammond's house as Martin prepares to leave for work. Facing east on Wood Ride in Petts Wood.

Now. SJ

Martin Hammond reverses his Austin Princess off the driveway and sets off for the bank. The junction of Wood Ride and Kingsway.

I think the house has been remodelled, given a similar view in 021. SJ

Another view from a car as Martin Hammond (James Kerry) drives through Orpington. In the right distance can be seen the sign for Orpington station on Crofton Road as the vehicle passes the former Urban District Council offices on the left.

OK, so I should have been in the back seat but the location is correct. (RL)

The car turns into Orpington's High Street from Station Road.

Now on a cold January Sunday. SJ

As Ron and the Boy force their way into his house, Mr. Hammond turns off the High Street into a car park. The unnamed driveway still leads to a car park.

Couldn't find a name either. SJ

Crossing the road, Martin waits for traffic to pass. High Street again with the car park's entrance on the right.

Businesses have moved on. SJ

Another Robber (Carol Shaw) drives her accomplices towards the London Provincial Bank. Looking towards High Street from Moorfield Road in Orpington.

I had to get out of the car to secure this shot. (RL)

Two Robbers (Richard Shaw and Derek Ware) get out of the car and follow Martin as the bank's door is opened to let him in. Moorfield Road in Orpington, Kent.

A nice clash of old and new brick on the left. SJ

When the door is opened by Peter (Gene Foad), the robbers push their way inside. The building at the corner of Moorfield Road and High Street was originally a branch of Martin's Bank until being taken over by Barclays in 1969.

They've kept the doors! SJ

The Girl waits in the getaway car. Facing Aynscombe Angle across High Street from Moorfield Road with the Anchor & Hope public house to the right.

The pub is now a restaurant. SJ

Tom (Mark Elwes), the bank's Assistant Manager, arrives for work. The junction of Moorfield Road and High Street.

Ambassador has replaced Milletts which looked on its way out back in '78. SJ

With the robbery over and leaving Peter dead, the robbers take off in their Mercedes. The corner of Moorfield Road and High Street, Orpington. The bank closed in 1977 and is currently a fast food outlet.

Kebabs anyone? SJ

The car disappears, not to be seen again in this film. Facing south-west towards the junction of White Hart Road and Church Hill on High Street.

There it goes off into the distance. SJ

Martin Hammond heads home to where the other robbers are holding his family hostage. Approaching the roundabout at the southern end of High Street in Orpington.

I was a little impetuous with this shot: should be slightly further down. SJ

Chislehurst Road in Petts Wood looking toward the junction with Petts Wood Road and Poverest Road.

It is unusual for poles to be erected when we have so much underground cabling these days. (RL)

Martin arrives home and rushes for the front door. The property stands at the corner of Wood Ride and Kingsway.

The lean-to is now a full-bloodied garage. SJ

As the police start their search for the robbers, P.C. McLaren turns up at the Hammond's home. Looking out onto the junction of Wood Ride and Kingsway.

Best possible shot without trespass. (RL)

Sergeant Wilson (Ken Barker) arrives outside the house.

Similar to 005. No dormer window anymore. SJ

The two Officers discuss their course of action. Looking along Wood Ride from the junction with Kingsway.

Now. SJ

Reinforcements are called in and a siege begins.

Same drain in the middle of the road? SJ

Superintendent Ogilvie (Victor Brooks) surveys the scene. The corner of Wood Ride and Kingsway.

Now. SJ

That evening, Ron leaves the house with a gagged and bound Wendy Hammond (Sylvia Syms). The junction of Wood Ride and Kingsway in Petts Wood, Kent.

Now. SJ
