If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.

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.

After a frighteningly speedy journey, the bus bringing Peter Hayward from the station arrives in the village of Chaunduyt. Village Road, Denham in Buckinghamshire. The location was seen in 'Deadlock', 'Stormy Crossing', 'Dark Places', 'Vice Versa', 'Murder, She Said', 'Dr. Morelle', 'Poet's Pub' and 'The Man in the Moon'.

Replacing my shot taken the previous year, which wasn't quite the correct angle. SJ

The bus screeches to a halt. This is another part of Village Road, Denham which was used in 'Oh, Daddy', 'Down Among the Z Men', 'The Square Peg' and 'Great Day'.

As promised, a replacement of my shot from 19/2/16 (which was too blurred). The Swan, one of three pubs, on Village Road. SJ
