I Start Counting

While the titles play, Wynne Kinch looks through her bedroom window as she brushes her hair after dressing for school. Looking from Point Royal onto Rectory Lane in Easthampstead, Bracknell, Berkshire.

A Lollipop Man directs children across the road as Wynne and her adoptive brother George make their way to where Corinne Eldridge is waiting. The Grade II listed Point Royal seen from Rectory Lane which, along with other areas of the New Town, also appears in 'The Offence'.

Steve Randall completed his 10,000 steps around Bracknell and collected several comparison shots on the way.

George gives the two girls a lift to school in the company Dormobile. Facing north-east on Rectory Lane in Easthampstead, Bracknell.

Facing the same way, Steve Randall took this view of the same background.

During a sex education class, the School Priest (Charles Lloyd Pack) is asked some awkward questions. We can usually rely upon Di Davies when film makers venture to Slough, so this she tells us, recognising the sister of an old school friend, is St Joseph's High School, Shaggy Calf Lane. It is good to hear that the uniform, ties and blazer badges seen in the film are still in use today. (RL)

After school, a bus carries Wynne and Corinne towards home.

The Conductor (Simon Ward) issues tickets after Wynne Kinch (Jenny Agutter) and Corinne Eldridge (Clare Sutcliffe) pay their 4d fares. The bus is just about to pass the Windsor Lad public house on Maidenhead Road, Clewer near Windsor, Berkshire which also features in 'The End of the Line'.

Phil Richards finishes his attention to this sequence, without taking the bus, to capture a perfect shot of the Windsor Lad, that he says, has retained the name despite being a "Harvester", to his knowledge for the past 20 years. (RL)

The journey continues with Wynne asking her friend why the Conductor thinks she's Irish. Continuing their journey past the Windsor Lad, Phil Richards identified what were the offices of "Leverton" on Maidenhead Road. (RL)

The 'Leverton' premises have been re-developed into the 'Centrica' premises but Phil still managed a shot from the same angle, albeit from ground level. (RL)

Being relieved at the bus terminus on Dalstead Common, the Conductor and his Driver walk towards the small busman's cafeteria. Pointed in the right direction by IMDb, this is Hawthorn Dell to the north of Hawthorn Lane, Farnham Common in Buckinghamshire with the Grenville Lodge Hotel in the left background.

Di Davies took advantage of a glorious day to venture to Burnham Beeches, that she knows so well, to provide comparison shots for us. With all the changes through the years, particularly much tree and shrub growth, It wasn't possible for her to get in exactly the right place. The Grenville Hotel would have been at the far left side of the shot. (RL)

Bus Crews watch as a body is loaded into an ambulance. Hawthorn Dell on Hawthorn Lane between Burnham and Farnham Common.

Di's second shot was of where the bus crew snack bar would have been situated. There is little, if anything, to identify it so she just estimated where by watching the clips from Hawthorn Dell. Maybe perhaps, the sighting of those seats provide re-assurance. (RL)

The two friends walk towards Corinne's house. Rectory Lane in Bracknell.

The tree survives in Steve Randall's view.

As she passes the dustbin block near home, Wynne retrieves a package that she saw George dispose of that morning. Easthampstead Community Centre stands to the left and Rectory Row shops can be seen in the background.

Alterations are apparent in this comparison from Steve Randall.

On Saturday, after discovering George's blood stained jumper in the parcel, Wynne and Corinne head into town. Looking north on Charles Square, Bracknell with Crossways beyond High Street in the background. The shopping centre can also be seen in 'I Want What I Want' and 'The Offence'.

Steve Randall explains that the centre of Bracknell has been totally redeveloped, but the Grange Hotel, a major refurbishment of the old Honeywell House, still dominates.

Leaving her friend flirting in a coffee bar, Wynne returns later to find her. Looking out onto Broadway in Bracknell, Berkshire.

Wynne peers through the window of a record shop. Town Square in Bracknell with the Magistrates and Juvenile Courts in the background.

Having no luck locating Corinne, Wynne spots George loading his Dormobile while his lover Leonie waits patiently.

Heading homeward, Wynne passes an old building being demolished.

As the brick dust settles, a view of things to come appears. Seen from the vicinity of The Ring and Church Street, Honeywell House is under construction in the distance.

Taken from the best position by Steve Randall.

Wynne continues through the construction site. This is waste ground awaiting development between The Ring and St. Joseph's church.

Crossing a car park, the teenager reaches a terrace of cottages. Found by members of the Britmovie Forum, this is the western end of Searle Street in Bracknell with a newly completed office block on Market Street in the left background that has since been converted to residential accommodation.

This shot was taken off angle by Steve Randall to show the since refurbished background building which has been adapted for residential use.

Wynne knocks on the door of Mrs. Bennett's home. Searle Street, Bracknell with the Market Inn at the corner of Station Road in the left distance.

Steve Randall's comparison shows that the Market Inn remains, but Searle Street has gone.

Getting off the bus at Dalstead Common the following day, Wynne and Corinne take a walk alongside the lake near where the young woman's body was found. Hawthorn Dell on Hawthorn Lane with a building belonging to Shilton's Amusement Park to the bottom left.

Phil found that the 2 main trees are still there, but the housing estate replaces the amusement park buildings and the bus stop has gone. (RL)

The two girls find the derelict house that the Kinch's lived in before being relocated to a high rise flat.

Wynne makes her way to church for confession. The site of Stanley Road, now Braccan Walk, in Bracknell, Berkshire with St. Joseph's church to the right.

Without the building site next door by Steve Randall.

Promising that she wouldn't, Wynne returns to the old house where George's fiancée died.

Carrying flowers, Wynne heads back to the church to pray. St. Joseph's church on Stanley Road in the centre of Bracknell.

Steve Randall's image shows alterations to the approach in line with today's standards.

George returns home early the next day. The access road to Point Royal from Pond Moor Road.

More bollards now line the road in Steve Randall's view.

The camera follows the Dormobile before tilting up the building. The access road to Point Royal in Easthampstead.

Steve Randall's shot shows little change.

After church, Wynne calls on Corinne to lend her a necklace. Rectory Lane in Bracknell.

Steve Randall notes that satellite dishes have appeared on almost every property.

Lying to Corinne that she's staying with a boyfriend named David, Wynne carries her night case and boards a waiting bus. Rectory Lane with Rectory Row to the right.

A FedEx van is blocking the view of shops in Steve Randall's image.

The bus arrives at Dalstead Common where Wynne makes her way past a police Land Rover patrolling the lakeside and on the her old home. Hawthorn Lane, Burnham Beeches with Shilton's Amusement Park cafeteria to the left, opposite the southern end of Lord Mayors Drive.

Phil Richards took this looking west down Hawthorn Lane; the amusement park cafe and garage are now the grass verge on the left and Macros cottage, he says is behind the fence on the right. (RL)

Finding Corinne in the record shop, Wynne signals to her before entering. Looking out onto Town Square with the Police Station to the top right.

Just passing by his workshop, Wynne calls in on George.

Telling his sister that another girl was killed the previous night, George listens as Wynne tries to sympathise with the murderer.

Leaving the flat, Wynne crosses to George's Dormobile to search for clues. Point Royal seen from the Community Centre car park.

Steve Randall took this slightly off-angle, as the path has moved leftward somewhat.

When her brother appears, Wynne hides beneath a plastic sheet in the back of the vehicle. The entrance to Point Royal in Bracknell.

George drives away. Rectory Lane, Easthampstead in Bracknell.

New buildings overshadow the old streets. Andrew Radgick explains that this is looking along High Street towards Bracknell and Wokingham College on Church Road in Bracknell. The College was replaced by a newer building in 2010.

Peering out from beneath the sheet, Wynne sees them approach the Fairway's Clinic where Leonie is picked up. Graham Hornby recognised the Ferranti Computer Systems building on Western Road, Bracknell which was demolished in 2014.

George drives away from the clinic with Leonie beside him.

The Dormobile approaches Leonie's house where George drops her off before being asked inside. Crowthorne Road, Bracknell near its junction with Downshire Way located by Andrew Radgick.

At a picnic at Sleydon House & Gardens suggested by their mother, Len Kinch (Gregory Phillips) sits beneath a tree as his sister Wynne brings over a tray of drinks before Corinne attempts to flirt with George. The grounds of South Hill Park off South Hill Road in Bracknell. The house has become an arts centre and the grounds have been reduced by residential development.

A nice day for Steve Randall, but too cold to draw the crowd.

Dropping Len and Wynne home, Gordon goes back to find Corinne who had begun to walk from Sleydon House.

Len and Wynne set out to search on his scooter. Facing north on Redvers Road, Easthampstead with Point Royal in the distance.

Steve Randall found little change.

The pair look to either side as Len suggests that Corinne must have got a lift by now. The corner of Crowthorne Road and Netherton with properties on Malham Fell in the right background.

Building work completed by Steve Randall.

Passing Leonie's house, Wynne sees Gordon's Dormobile parked outside. Whilst on the Maidenhead Road, Phil Richards found 'Brookmead', now with the given number 65.

Phil provides the comparative shot noting that the property looks to have sold off part of their plot (including the old garage to the left) and that house is now No. 63. (RL)

Wynne gives an excuse for Len to stop and let her off his scooter.

That evening, Corinne gets into a car after phoning Wynne to tell her that she may be staying out all night. The Barn Garage stood on Hawthorn Lane, Burnham Beeches in Buckinghamshire, just to the north-west of Shilton's Amusement Park and the junction with Lord Mayors Drive. The garage also features in 'They Came from Beyond Space'.

Whilst providing this shot for us Phil adds that the phone box was a prop, however this scene must have been taken close to the amusement park cafe looking straight at the petrol pumps. Barn garage is now just a grass verge. (RL)

Wynne catches a late bus to Dalstead Common in an attempt to save her friend. In the centre background can be seen the Barn Garage on Hawthorn Lane, Burnham Beeches while buildings belonging to Shilton's Amusement Park stand to the left.

This capture is very simiilar to the one Phil took for his comparison shot to Capture 30. Barn garage behind the bus in the capture, now just a grass verge. (RL)
