Additional Information:

Rebooted from 2007. The grabs, some at Polperro, Cornwall, grabbed and sleuthed by our very own … Simon James. Thanks Simon, glad you didn’t retire on the proceeds of the book! “At one time I did have the addresses and even the name of the cliff path which Lana Turner’s walking on. But sadly, put somewhere safe … however I’m pretty sure the street is on the east side and called The Warren. The cliff path which is a continuation of The Warren leads to a small concrete structure from where “the film and I placed our cameras” says Simon. (JT back in 2007) Names subsequently found! And SJ nows taken between 2007 and 2014.

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.

James, or a double for Sid, steps out to visit Turner.

Gloucester Gate off the north-east side of the Outer Circle, London NW1. SJ

  • Capture 3

Turner's train heads to the southwest. This footage was also seen in 'Return to Yesterday' and 'Ghost Train' (1941).

Taken by David Edwards. (SJ)

  • Capture 4
  • 24 Jan 2022

Turner arrives at Looe station.

John Scott returned to the location to find a rather cluttered view that isn't quite as picturesque after 64 years.

  • Capture 5
  • 22 May 2017

Turner arrives in Polperro, Cornwall

Martin R arrives in Polperro as well, but a few years on. (RL)

  • Capture 6
  • 10 Nov 2021

Further exploration of "St Giles, Cornwall" as stated in the narrative. Somehow IMDb appears to have mistaken this for Italy but John Scott puts us right with his identification of the Jolly Sailor public house on Princes Square in West Looe in Cornwall.

John proves the previously unidentified location with this capture. Image copyright Google.

Down by the harbour.

Martin R provides a colourful taste of the same location today. (RL)

  • Capture 8

More of the harbour.

Tide's out! SJ

  • Capture 9
  • 08 Oct 2016

Turner finds her way to Johns' place.

This is The Warren on the east side of Polperro. SJ

  • Capture 10
  • 08 Oct 2016

She has success.

"East Moorings" on The Warren is now called East Cliff House. SJ

  • Capture 11
  • 08 Oct 2016

Enjoying the cliffs which shelter Polperro from the ravages of the English Channel.

The cliff walk is called Reuben's Walk and it's taken from the "concrete structure" - a small 1911 lighthouse. SJ

  • Capture 12
  • 'Now' required

Returning home from the stroll.

  • Capture 13
  • 08 Oct 2016

A clear sign of "East Moorings, Treganna Hill" as stated in the film.

The wrong angle and not all that a convincing match to boot. Given an earlier shot, I think it's the wrong door as I attempted to take it from memory. SJ

  • Capture 14
  • 08 Oct 2016

Looking back into the village.

Only half the harbour. SJ

  • Capture 15
  • 'Now' required

Cornish charm.

  • Capture 16
  • 'Now' required

Very much a fishing village.

Another view by the harbour... Jane Hough was researching family history and unearthed her grandfather's papers including a call sheet, dated 2 October 1957 with the following details of sets and locations: Ext. Alan’s Shack, Jack Bray’s Store, Quay - Looe; Ext. St. Giles’ Station, Looe Station; Ext. Cornwall Arms (?), Ye Olde Jolly Sailor - Looe (Ye Old Ship). (SJ)

Jack's store seems to have grown somewhat as John Scott's comparison shows.

Steps down from The Warren.

Reverse pov.

Similar to 014. SJ

The similar scene today. SJ

  • 08 Oct 2016

On the west side of the harbour.

A less cluttered view, not quite on target (needs to be further back) as the centre here matches behind Turner's head. SJ

  • Capture 24

Back at Looe station.

  • Capture 25
  • 'Now' required

And another view.
