Cemetery Junction

The story is set in the 1970s and this is the village of Woodstock in Oxfordshire. The location also features in 'Frieda', 'Hanover Street' and 'The Titfield Thunderbolt'.

Also seen in 'Frieda'. (SD)

The three friends Tom Hughes (Bruce), Christian Cooke (Freddie) and Jack Doolan (Snork) walk along the train tracks at Great Central Railway on Great Central Road, Loughborough in Leicestershire.

The lads play a prank on a local police officer in Park Street, Woodstock OX20.

No police to prank today. (SD)

The boys try to chat up some local girls along Park Street in Woodstock OX20.

With the Post Office on the right. (SD)

After some trouble in the pub, the boys spent the night in the slammer. The local police station is actually the Town Hall in Market Place, Woodstock OX20.

Seen as the Town Hall in 'Frieda'. (SD)

But after their friendly police officer lets them go, they head off down Park Street, Woodstock, Oxfordshire,OX20.

Facing The Bear Hotel. (SD)

The lads are walking home. Their street is located at Woodlands Drive, Stanmore, London HA7.

Freddie starts his new insurance selling job and is driven to start the day by Matthew Goode (Mike) in a 1959 MG A 1600 Mk I . Little Common, Stanmore in Greater London located by Stephen Dean.

With the white fronted building now hidden behind greenery, Antony Blair captured the same scene ten years later to replace SD's earlier Google shot.

Mike begins by showing Freddie how it's done. Outside 20 Little Common in Stanmore. (SD)

Again replacing an earlier Google image, Antony took this view of the location.

Freddie heads back to Insurance HQ which in reality is Victoria House, 1 Vernon Place in London WC1A.

Peter notes that an extra floor has been added. (RL)

Bruce finishes another factory shift and heads home to Woodlands Drive, Stanmore, London HA7 for a bit of parental confrontation.

Keen eyed site visitor Angus Townley points out that the trio are watching the sunrise over the towns of Rodborough, Cainscross and Cashes Green. They are sitting on Rodborough Common, just below the Fort, south of Stroud in Gloucestershire GL5 5BJ.

Freddie continues to try and sell insurance along Church Row, London NW3. Tris points out that a similar view of the location is seen in 'Sapphire' as well as 'Alias John Preston' and 'Stage Fright'.

The view north on Church Row by Tris.

He even tries to sell to David Earl (Brian) at the Cemetery Junction cafe which is really at the Great Central Railway's Loughborough Central station on Great Central Road, Loughborough, LE11).

And still the door to door selling continues. Browns Lane, Woodstock. (SD)

Freddie was outside number 2. (SD)

. . . as well as another shot that is also on Church Row, London NW3.

With the street taken over by parked cars, again this is the view north on Church Row provided by Tris.

He sees some success at an address along Flask Walk, London NW3 although he remains emotionally conflicted.

Peter had success in Hampstead too.

and now at the nice house that is somewhere in Hampstead, London of the Kendricks (Ralph Fiennes and Emily Watson). The nice cars are the 1959 MG A 1600 MkI and the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I. John Topp advises that the house was also used for TV productions…. Inside No 9 S1:6 ‘The Harrowing’ (2014) and Lead Balloon S2:E7 ‘Rita’ (2007)…. and no doubt many more! Found! The property is Enderleigh, Broadlands Road, Highgate, London N6. Also seen in 'Vampira'. (RL)

Denis provides an improved shot over his earlier visit noting that since filming the only real change is perhaps the 3 cctv cameras mounted along the front of the building. (RL)

Bruce and Freddie go back to Cemetery Junction station to visit Snork at his day job. Loughborough Central station on Great Central Road, Loughborough.

Richard Winchester returned to the station.

David Earl (Brian) enjoys the sun outside the Cemetery Junction cafe. Loughborough Central station can also be seen in 'Goodnight Mr. Tom'.

In Richard Winchester's view it is apparent that the buffet was added for filming.

Bruce and Freddie have an idea to cause some passenger confusion. A few moments later with the station announcements getting disrupted, passengers look confused on the platform.

Some passengers are in line for some personal insults. This is still of course Great Central Railway on Great Central Road, Loughborough, LE11.

After more cultural put-downs from his family, Freddie is more determined than ever to make the best of his job. He starts with renewed passion at a previous customer, but he is about to receive an unexpected shock. 20 Little Common, Stanmore. (SD)

Bruce gets a lesson from the local 'friendly' police officer and leaves the police station (really Woodstock Town Hall in Oxfordshire) with a changed perspective.

Back to being a town hall. (SD)

Meanwhile Snork attempts to pluck up the courage to ask Bryony Hannah (Louise) out on Cemetery Junction station. In reality, of course, Great Central Railway on Great Central Road, Loughborough LE11.

The same bench and flower bed found by Richard Winchester.

But Louise first has to see if she can deal with Snorks vampire tattoo! All this is happened on Cemetery Junction (Great Central Railway on Great Central Road, Loughborough, LE11).

Richard Winchester replicates the scene.

Freddie is seizing the chance to travel and walks with determination down Park Street in the village of Woodstock, Oxfordshire OX20.

Is this why it's called Park Street? (SD)

But just as the train is due to depart Felicity Jones (Julie) is running late along Park Street, Woodstock, Oxfordshire OX20. In reality the station location is about 90 miles away from where she is!

Thankfully I was there when a car left its parking space, so I could line this up the best I could. (SD)

But it seems Freddie may have got cold feet and exits Cemetery Junction. But maybe this happened just in time...

The newly formed couple race down the platform of Cemetery Junction to catch their train to a new life. The station is really Great Central Railway on Great Central Road, Loughborough in Leicestershire.
