Charles Edward Spalding (David Baron) walks toward a big manor house, owned by Dr. Franklyn (Noel Willman) where he will get a nasty surprise. This is Oakley Court (currently as of 2021 it is a 4-star hotel) on Windsor Road, Windsor in Berkshire SL4 5UR. It is next door to the Bray Studios location where Hammer filmed the village scenes for this film and also based many other of their productions between 1951 to 1967, after which they began using studios at Elstree and Pinewood.

An al fresco dining area has been added on both sides of the steps. SJ

Harry George Spalding (Ray Barrett) and his wife Valerie (Jennifer Daniel), are travelling to their inherited cottage by train and disembark at an apparent Cornish Railway station. In reality this was Loudwater Railway station, on Treadaway Hill, High Wycombe HP10 9RS. The station served Loudwater, Buckinghamshire and Flackwell Heath on the Wycombe Railway line. The station was demolished in 1970 and today industrial units sit on the site. A railway conservation path towards High Wycombe follows the route of the former railway.

In Antony Blair's view, the railway station has become a small industrial estate.

The pair approach their new home. This cottage is currently unidentified. Some internet sources say it is located on Brentmoor Road in Woking but the amount of development that has taken place since filming makes it hard to believe that it remains. Phil Richards has confirmed that the property does still exist and is indeed in Brentmoor Road, Woking and called 'Graingers Farm'. (RL)
