Park, gardens, East London, the lamp post support may still be there. It is in Royal Mint forecourt, Tower Hill says Ray Glenister, see the two previous captures. (RL)

Dr. Treves makes his way through a street market towards the place where 'The Elephant Man' is being kept. Pendar Sillwood tells us that "Elsewhere in the film, a direction sign for Pickford's Wharf can be seen. There is still a Pickford's Wharf in Clink Street SE1 so it lends weight to this being in the area". (RL)

Further along the stalls in the street market. Clink Street again, flats in the mid right might still be there. Les Stitson adds, the cobbled street scenes were all filmed in the Clink Street area of Southwark. By adjusting the tonal visibility of the background building in this capture Ray Glenisiter has revised his previous location identification to looking across Winchester Square from Clink Street.
