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.

Davis in Regent's Park, London NW1, same view as Brief Encounter.
The boating is less ambitious now with pedaloes replacing sails. SJ

Chester Terrace.
To be exact, the central one in the terrace, no 30 I claimed in London FIlm Location Guide but today it just seems to have a 2 on the door. It's between 23 and 37! SJ.
A more accurate update here. SJ

Wall Hall, Aldenham. Formerly called Aldenham Abbey, once part of the University of Hertfordshire, formerly Hatfield Polytechnic, now private homes. The residence also appears in 'No Time for Tears', 'The Agitator' and 'The Vampire Lovers'.
Looks like Lego now the ivy's gone. SJ

The side (or back) of the house. This is when Dix appears to scare milkman Fowler and it may be a set.

A bridge and tantalisingly illegible signs as Davis exits a taxi. The taxi is pointing down Lockton Street, W.10. The road through the arch in the background (with the illegible street sign) is Bramley Road. The shop immediately beneath the street sign is Tomlins the Baker. Latimer Road tube station is through the arch, turn left and 50 yards on the right. Incidentally this precise location is used for the very last scene of 'The Lavender Hill Mob'. John Henwood. Wonderful personal memory.
This is today's Lockton Street and the tunnel, and the pub out of sight to the right, is the only survivor of wide-sweeping changes to the area. (Looking at old maps, the other illegible sign in the "then" must have been Barandon Street which has now gone.) SJ

And shabby flats next to the bridge. Lockton Street, John Henwood.
Again with reference to old maps, the shabby terrace on Lockton Street curled right round to the underground line. Now there is access to Latimer Road tube, and new building to the flats. SJ

I think that sign reads something Terrace. Walmer Road W10, about 400 yds north of Lockton Street; Bette Davis is walking across the north end of Silchester Mews. The car breakers with the 'Robinsons' lorry is Hanningtons owned and run by Fred Hannington. John Henwood.
Again looking at old maps, this is about the correct place with Walmer Road no longer running this far after the construction of Westway. SJ

Davis proceeds down the terrace. "Bette Davis is now walking past 74 Walmer Road, observed from exactly opposite, outside no.77 where I lived." John Henwood.
This is now called Crowthorne Road and it partially circles the sports centres which abound in this area. I believe John's house no77, was over my right shoulder and now astro-turfed. SJ
