Girdle of Gold

Dawn breaks over Cwm Tallyn.

On his round, Evans the Milk delivers to a terrace of houses. Christopher Matheson identifies Windsor Street in Chertsey, Surrey with St. Peter's school at the corner of St. Anns Road to the left.

With bottles rattling in their crates, William Evans (Esmond Knight) leads his horse pulling the float in which Griffiths the Hearse is sleeping. Windsor Street, Chertsey located by Christopher Matheson.

With his car decked in ribbons, Griffiths drives newly weds Dai and Mary Roberts to Cardiff to catch the train to London.

While her husband is away, Gwyneth Griffiths (Maudie Edwards) elopes with Williams the Milk. Windsor Street, Chertsey, looking north, with St. Peter's School, located by Christopher Matheson, visible in the middle distance. (SR)

Discovering a note from Gwyneth when he arrives home, Griffiths storms out of the house. The Cedars, 33 Windsor Street, Chertsey, which has housed Chertsey Museum since the early 1970s. (SR)

Coming across a telephone box, Griffiths opens the door to find it occupied. The memorial stands outside St. Peter's Church in Windsor Street, Chertsey, (SR)

The undertaker continues running through the town. Church Road opposite Church Square in Shepperton, Middlesex found by Nick Boorman who adds that the location also appears in 'Find the Lady'.

Nick took a similar view, a long way from Wales but very close to Nettlefold Studios.

Griffiths reaches the Police Station where he demands that Sergeant Mortimer do something after showing him the note.

Returning home, Griffiths gets into his hearse and sets out to follow his wife.

The camera pans with the hearse.

Before heading out of town the hearse zig-zags along narrow roads.

In London, Dai (Glyn Houston) and Mary Roberts (Petra Davies) enjoy their honeymoon. Trafalgar Square in WC2 with The National Gallery in the right background.

In all its majesty. SJ

A Constable watches as the pair almost kiss in public. The entrance to Trafalgar Square station with the New Theatre on Strand in the right background.

Hmm, not convinced I'm in the right place here, perhaps I should have rotated a little more to the right. SJ

The sightseeing continues. Piccadilly Circus in W1.

The statue has since moved out of frame to the right. SJ

Enjoying touring the Capital, the couple visit St. Paul's Cathedral. This view is from Watling Street in EC4.

Tricky to recreate this view from Watling Street, not helped by the extension to St Paul's Cathedral Choir School. SJ

Mr. and Mrs. Roberts find Tower Bridge, crossing the Thames between E1 and SE1.

Still there. SJ

The pair cross Westminster Bridge. The Grade II* listed bridge opened in November 1750 and links Westminster with Lambeth.

Looking north-west. SJ

Dai checks his watch before the two return to their hotel. Westminster Bridge with the Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament in the background.

Leaving the railway station, Griffiths hides behind a wall when he sees Evans approaching. Outside Weybridge station on Station Approach, Weybridge in Surrey identified by Gary Harding.

Evans the Milk hurries to the station with his suitcase. Station Approach in Weybridge recognised by Gary Harding.

JH provides this view of Station Approach now.

Griffiths waits for Evans to enter the booking hall and listens as he buys a ticket to London. Gary Harding found Weybridge station in Surrey adding that the building was demolished in the mid-1980s following a fire. The station also features in 'Life in Emergency Ward 10'.

Looking across the front of the rebuilt station by JH.

Griffiths the Hearse and Evans the Milk return home from London. Carrying headcode 146, the Down Torbay Express speeds through the down main line platform at Taplow station off Bath Road in Taplow, Berkshire.
