Change Partners (An Edgar Wallace Mystery)

Anna Arkwright returns home to her husband Ben after meeting in Harringtons Wood with her lover Ricky Gallen.

In his Rover 3 litre Coupé, Ben Arkwright arrives for work at his firm of Arkwright and Gallen. Peter Bywaters advises that the background building was identified during an episode of Talking Pictures TV's 'The Footage Detectives' as Claygate House on Littleworth Road, Claygate in Surrey.

Witnessing the businessman's affair with his partner's wife from the caravan site where they live, Joe Trent (Kenneth Cope) and Jean (Pamela Ann Davy) arrive at the premises after tracing the Rover's registration number. Peter Bywaters explains that Claygate House was, until recently, an office building but has since been converted into flats and renamed Esher Park Gardens.

Peter took this rather restricted view of the location due to building work being carried out behind the blue hoarding to the right.

Leaving the dividend celebrations inside, Ricky Gallen (Basil Henson) walks to the car park. The car park of Claygate House in Claygate where Peter Bywaters found further construction work being undertaken during 2022.

With the company shareholder's meeting over, an inebriated Ben is driven to the Gallen's house to recover. Facing east on Lynne Walk in Esher, Surrey identified by Jamie Sturgeon with number 1 standing in the right background.

In contrast to a winter's day, Peter Bywaters found summer shade from the more mature oak tree on the leafy Lynne Walk.

Betty Gallen (Jane Barrett) opens the garage door and drives the car inside before finding that she can't turn off the engine. Jamie Sturgeon advises that here we're facing number 2 Lynne Walk.

John Harwood captured the replacement garage which retains an apex.

That evening, a Leaflet Deliverer spots smoke coming from beneath the closed garage door at the Gallen's home. 2 Lynne Walk in Esher discovered by Jamie Sturgeon.

The cul-de-sac has changed drastically and John Harwood found the new number 2 sits closer to the road.

Meanwhile, outside the Arkwright's house, Joe approaches Ricky before Anna (Zena Walker) appears at the door.

Joe takes Sally Morrison out for dinner at The White Hart with the £200 he obtained from Ricky after revealing that he knows about the Rover's rigged ignition and the faked suicide. High Street in Godstone, Surrey with The White Hart public house to the left.

John Harwood took a trip to the White Hart for this and following comparisons. I hope he rewarded himself with some refreshment. (SJ)

Ricky continues to follow before sideswiping the erratically driven car, sending Joe and Sally to the bottom of a quarry.

Following the death of her two-timing boyfriend, Jean confronts Anna outside Ricky's house after he closes the door of the garage and starts his car's engine. Jamie Sturgeon advises that this is the driveway of number 2 Lynne Walk, Esher.

Taken off angle to avoid trespassing, Peter Bywaters explains that the house in the background of the screen capture is number 1 Lynne Walk which has been replaced with a new build.

Called by Jean earlier, a Police car arrives in the cul-de-sac and a Policeman (Gerry Judge) runs towards the garage as a Detective makes his way to beak up the fighting women. Lynne Walk in Esher recognised by Jamie Sturgeon who adds that several of the properties have been demolished and replaced.

Peter Bywaters found that the house left of frame has been replaced with a new build whereas, to the right, number 4 survives with a sizable side extension. Note that the tree has grown with the house.

The Detective struggles to take Anna and Jean into custody. Outside number 2 Lynne Walk in Esher, Surrey found by Jamie Sturgeon.
