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.

Some of the crew separate after their ship arrives in London, Carl Stock (George Mikell), left, walk into the remainder of the film. Genuine dockside or studio mock up?

After studio locations involving safe cracking and a policeman being shot attention turns to Carl in a room with a bag of money. 101/103 Gillespie Road, London N5.
Much smarter now and no doubt considerably more expensive.

The police review events and the evidence. Scotland Yard, Derby Gate, London SW1
No longer a main access point.

Carl goes to meet his wife at 'Gillespie Road' underground station. 110/108 Gillespie Road, London N5. He is actually walking in the wrong direction. For the purposes of the film they used the original name of the station. In 1913 Arsenal FC moved from Woolwich to Highbury, and the club's presence there eventually led to a campaign for a change of name, which occurred on the 31 October 1932 when the name changed to Arsenal (Highbury Hill) Highbury Hill was dropped in 1960.
I am sure they have moved that manhole cover.

A brighter and dryer day.

It draws to a stop, and “heavy”, George (Howard Lang ) and boss Sam Hare (Eddie Byrne) get out.
Much less activity during my visit.

Carl beats an hasty retreat into the crowd and is immediately followed.
I am afraid that I could find insufficient lasting features together to be sure I had the exactly correct part of the terrace.

They make their way into the Arsenal Stadium where stock footage of a game is run. The stadium also features in 'The Arsenal Stadium Mystery' and 'Small Town Story'.
Antony Blair captured the stand now . . . as residential apartments.

Finding Lenny Lane (Michael Ripper) beaten up in Sam Hare’s office and who tells them where everyone is to be found the police make their way to Arsenal Station.
Some aspects remain the same.
