Girl in the Picture, The

A newspaper delivery van drives through London during the title sequence. King Street, Hammersmith, W6, facing east by 145-155.

Delivery vans still abound. (RL)

The van turns right into Studland Street, with the Regal Cinema in the background. The cinema was demolished in March 2017.

The trolleybus wires went even further back in time. (RL)

The van turns left into Glenthorne Road.

All very much the same...but smarter. (RL)

The van then makes a left turn into Dalling Road, just before the railway bridge.

Those trees have grown. (RL)

The van stops briefly to drop off a bundle of newspapers. Macbeth Street, Hammersmith, facing St. John's Church Of England School. The school is now The Macbeth Centre and was also seen in the 1988 Doctor Who story 'Remembrance Of The Daleks'.

I knew this shot was going to be difficult the moment I turned the corner.........they were filming! (RL)

A copy of The Evening Echo is bought by George Keefe (Tom Chatto). Unknown location.

Mr Keefe immediately hails a taxi after noticing a photo in the paper. Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, facing north, with The Six Bells pub to the right. The Six Bells was demolished in 1959 to make way for the flyover. The area was also seen in 'Somewhere In Camp'.

The facade of Bradmore House provides a reference point. (RL)

He asks the driver to take him to Fleet Street. Merthyr Terrace, Barnes, SW13.

Still the "corner shop". (RL)

Mr Keefe arrives at the Evening Echo office. The Strand, WC2, by The Royal Courts Of Justice, with Temple Bar Memorial to the right.

Roadworks hamper the view in Peter's shot.

The girl in the picture could hold a clue to the identity of the man who murdered Keefe's policeman brother. The newspaper photo is the only time Pat Dryden (Junia Crawford) is seen in an exterior location. 123, Church Road, Barnes, SW13.

Now part of the Olympic Studios café and dining Room. (RL)

The police begin their investigation. Digby Mansions, Hammersmith Bridge Road, W6.

Not quite the correct angle due to parked vehicles but at least the police car was almost in the right spot. (RL)

Evening Echo crime reporter Jon Deering (Donald Houston) pays a visit to the contributor of the photo, Mrs Stokes (Bee Duffell), and discovers where it was taken. 8 Byfeld Gardens, Barnes.

It looks as if it is the same front door but stripped. (RL)

Deering arrives at the chemist where Pat Dryden worked. Byfeld Gardens, by the corner of Church Road, Barnes.

After a complete makeover. (RL)

The police follow the trail leading to Mrs Stokes. Castelnau, SW13. Viewed from near Newport Gardens.

An unending line of traffic. (RL)

After speaking to Mrs Stokes, the police head off to Kilmsley Road. Byfeld Gardens.

The property is still individual. (RL)

The police arrive at the chemist shop. The corner of Byfeld Gardens and Church Road.

The post box is still there, but hidden. (RL)

Trying to stay one step ahead, Deering avoids the police. 123 Church Road, Barnes. Now part of Olympic Studios Café And Dining Room.

A slightly wider shot than necessary to make it worthwhile. (RL)

Detective Sergeant Nelson (John Paul) continues his investigation. Facing east at the corner of Byfield Gardens and Church Road, Barnes.

A little off angle for all manner of reasons. (RL)

After speaking to garage owner Jack Bates following a lead, Deering returns to the shopping parade. 117 and 119 Church Road, Barnes. To the left is the entrance to the Olympic Studios which started as a cinema, became a recording studio, and has now reverted to a cinema.

An excellent reincarnation.(RL)

Deering suspects the model on the magazine cover could be the girl he is looking for. 121 Church Road. Now part of the Olympic Studios Café and Dining Room.

It would have been more inviting had the sun been shining. (RL)

Detective Sergeant Nelson leaves the chemist with the information he needs. 123 Church Road.

The same as girpi017 to provide a meaningful shot. (RL)

Deering leaves the newsagent, trying to avoid Detective Sergeant Nelson. 121 and 123 Church Road. The Rodney Scott, Auctioneers and Estate Agency window, as seen in "Delayed Action" delac009, can be seen above washing line of publications.

How times change. (RL)

Still looking out for Nelson, Deering gets in his car. Church Road, Barnes. The telephone box is still there.

Pity about the clutter. (RL)

Jack Bates (Paddy Joyce), now under suspicion, leaves his garage. 52 Bracken Gardens, Barnes.

Garage and MOT facilities are still on site as well Stained Glass and Leaded Light crafts. (RL)

Deering heads off to see a photographer who may know the girl. Church Road facing Bracken Gardens.

The hedge no doubt shields the 21C road noise. (RL)

Bates drives with great urgency. Castelnau, SW13. Passing The Bridge Inn, with Arundel Terrace on the left.

At least it is still a boozer, of sorts. (RL)

Bates is stopped by traffic lights. 200 Castelnau, to the right of The Bridge Inn.

I expect that there was a gnashing of teeth when Cullen's closed. (RL)

Bates arrives at his destination. Hans Crescent, facing Sloane Street, SW1.

Re-developed Sloane Street to accommodate more upmarket retailers. (RL)

Bates desperately needs to see restaurant owner Rod Molloy. Hans Crescent, SW1.

Architecturally the same. (RL)

After speaking to Molloy, Bates heads to the home of Pat Dryden. Hammersmith town hall, Nigel Playfair Avenue, W6.

The Town Hall has since been extended. (RL)

Bates needs to speak to Pat Dryden. Nigel Playfair Avenue. In the background is the now demolished Regal Cinema.

Parking still a problem. (RL)

Rod Molloy (Maurice Kaufmann) fears Bates may go to the police. The passage is between 1 Bayfeld Gardens and the rear of Olympic Studios.

I couldn't get further back as it appears to be temporarily blocked off. (RL)

Bates heads back to the garage. Hammersmith Bridge, viewed from the corner of Riverview Gardens. Digby Mansions occupies centre screen. The location can also be seen in 'The Shop At Sly Corner'.

The post box appears to have been turned 90 degrees. (RL)

A policeman is posted opposite the garage. Church Road viewed from Bracken Gardens, Barnes.

A clearer view in autumn. (RL)

Bates returns to the garage. 52 Bracken Gardens.

Molloy also heads for the garage. Hammersmith Bridge, with Digby Mansions, that exceptionally overused location, in the background.

How did we manage before double yellow and white lines? (RL)

Molloy nears the garage. Bracken Gardens, turning left into the other part of the T shaped Bracken Gardens.

The loss of trees is probably a Council Tax saving. (RL)

Bracken Gardens looking towards Church Road.

And now, with more cars. (RL)

Molloy arrives at the garage with evil intent. 52 Bracken Gardens.

A few modifications for the glaziers occupation. (RL)

The policeman (John Watson) chooses the wrong moment to report back to Detective Inspector Bliss (Patrick Holt). The MK3 police box was on the corner of Castelnau and Ferry Road.

None of us expected the police box to still be there. (RL)

Unaware a murder has been committed, the policeman heads back to his post. The passage links Byfeld Gardens and Ferry Road.

Easily found on my second visit. (RL)

Having silenced Bates, Molloy makes his escape. Bracken Gardens.

As with everywhere else rooms have been built in the roofs. (RL)

Jon Deering arrives at the garage. Bracken Gardens viewed from Church Road.

Now a "Controlled Zone"...whatever that means. (RL)

The policeman watches from the lych gate. St Mary's Church, Church Road, Barnes.

Maybe I could have achieved the correct angle with a longer lens from the middle of the road! (RL)

Deering enters the garage. Bracken Gardens.

After his discovery, Deering drives to the phone box to inform Detective Inspector Bliss. Viewed from beside the phone box. Church Road, with Bracken Gardens in the centre background.

You have seen all the clutter that dictated where I could stand. (RL)

Fearing Pat could be in danger, Deering drives to her apartment. Castelnau viewed from the corner of Riverview Gardens.

A clearer view and it looks like they could be the same lamp standard(s). (RL)

Deering stops at a garage to use the phone. Castelnau by The Red Lion pub.

The boundary between the house and garage appears to have been altered. (RL)

Deering warns Pat that she is in danger. Castelnau, beside The Red Lion pub. The garage is now a car dealership.

The pumps have gone and as Stephen says, "so has the man in the white coat". (RL)

Deering comes to the rescue. Hammersmith town hall, Nigel Playfair Avenue.

It looks as though the pavement has been widened. (RL)
