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. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

Nice aerial view of the East End. The rail lines in the background are now the DLR into Bank and Tower Hill along with the C2C National Rail. I think that the only building that now remains from the photo is the school, and unfortunately that too is currently being demolished. Oliver Herington.

Is that church still there? Next to Christian Street in Poplar, the building was a school, which you can see in the screenshot taken from Google Maps.

The film says "Somerset Street, E1". Not in my A-Z.

It flashes back 20 years to "Kennedy Street" but looks like a set.
