The seafront of Brighton, King's Road around the Odeon area.

The kiosk/beach bar on the left helps to place this on King's Road. I'm standing in front of the Brighton Centre but this may be too far away. SJ

Lewis visits an estate agents called Restlin's which is a character's name.

King's Road again. All that is left is the tower and the new building the Odeon has allowed more pavement. There's the kiosk again to the right. SJ

The murder scene: the sign where the policeman is digging says Providence House.

The house, another angle. The Highway, Peacehaven/Newhaven according to Max and SainT (Greg) in Britmovie.co.uk

Whilst we do not normally display updated "now" shots Lewes District Council recently showed this film as part of an ongoing program of film locations in their district. Such was the success of the evening, both for them and Reelstreets we are happy to add some newer "nows". (RL)

An updated "now" from Nick Cannon. (RL)

Warner and Barron after the teashop interview. Church Street in Brighton, says S M Carey.

The buildings to the right on the corner of Church Street and Jubilee Street were demolished in 1972 for road widening. Location photo replaces Google Street View image. SD... "A local would enjoy the route, down Church St, left into Jubilee St heading north, suddenly materialising in Meeting House Lane, heading east to the end, re-materialising once more in Whitehall Yard, between the old cinema and no. 84 on the King's Road, heading south." Chris Fippard

Warner and Barron down an alley or, using a good old Sussex word, twitten. Fewell Antiques. I think this is The Lanes area possibly Meeting House Lane. Click the date for more precision.

The arched doorway in the background is a Quakers' Meeting House, hence Meeting House Lane. I think this is about right, though there have been redesigns here. SJ ... More (precise) info from Chris Fippard, "The quoted location is correct, but having consulted Kelly's Directory for 1962, I can confirm that Mrs. M. Fewell (antique dealer) was at 34 Meeting House Lane. This and 35 (north side) were soon demolished to create an entrance to Brighton Square. The camera, I would estimate, was just in the wider section of the twitten (you can see the drainpipe and end of a wall), facing directly towards the Meeting House, as has already been established."

Back to the seafront.

Brighton station.

Brighton station now. SD

Lewis at Lewes station.

Lewes station and it's not changed very much at all, although the brickwork is a lot cleaner now! Robert Sharp

Platform 3.

Platform 3, or, to put it another way, Platform 2! (It is still the same platform but a few years ago the original Platform 1 was abolished and so the remaining platforms got renumbered.) Not many other changes in the odd 50 years. It is the platform for catching trains towards London. Robert Sharp

The approach to a police station, Sussex County Police, probably Lewes. West Street says S M Carey.

Yes, West Street........little has changed but now in colour! Richard Lovejoy

For the reasons explained in jig006 we are happy to add this screen capture for an up dated now comparison. (RL)

An up to date comparison from Carmen Slypen. That is a better angle than mine was! (RL)

Close up... RL found a clearer shot to reveal the registration plate as 384 VPU, a Ford Anglia 105E.

The same shot in West Street, but no longer a "cop shop". Richard Lovejoy

Visiting Gardners, given as "1 Church Street": there is a Gardners Street which runs into Bond Street. Does that sign say Bond Street? Yes this is the corner opposite the William the Fourth pub.

A real mystery this one. The doorway from where I took this does not match the then. It is not angled as the other three of the intersection are. However it is Bond Street, even looks like the same street sign, and no doubts about the pub. SJ mystery solved: The building containing the shop door through which the still was shot was demolished for road widening in 1964. S M Carey.

Sgt Unwin (Geoffrey Frederick) visits Shaw's Garage to see if they have serviced a Grey A55 Saloon and talks to the Foreman (Charles Houston) and Maisie.

Chris Flippard, after some serious sleuthing to match that in the film, homes down to 29-37 Albion Street, Southwick, W. Sussex. He sends a Google Image "mocked-up" to resemble how it would have appeared. (RL)

A corner in Brighton.

The corner of Bartholomews and Little East Street. SJ.

Police station, possibly Little East Street, Brighton.

It is. SJ.

That looks like the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London SE10.

This replaces my shot taken in June 2010 when the Cutty Sark was still being restored. Stephen has improved my effort. (SJ)

Lee meets Donlan on King William Walk, Greenwich, also seen in What A Girl Wants (03).

My original shot was self-doubting. However Alan Mitchell came to the rescue, "Simon's photo is accurate - definitely No.43 that Jack Warner enters. The approach shot shows the car coming from an incorrect direction, that leads straight out into the River Thames and not Brighton." However since then Stephen has found a better angle to replace my shot from December 2012, during which the Cutty Sark was still being restored. (SJ)

Reverse shot.

This replaces Chris Flippard's Google of Nov 2014. SJ

"Harris" telephones the police station to say that they have established the garage that may have serviced an A55 with a bent wing.

Chris Fippard locates this as Mill Lane, Rodmell. The pumps have gone, although Chris advises the business remains in the Dean family. (RL)

Up from the corner in jig015.

The town hall entrance on Bartholomews just up from jig015. SJ.

Opposite "2 Saxon Street, Lewes" as quoted in the film.

Chris Fippard has found that Jack Warner and his team were parked in St John's Terrace, Lewes. An up to date shot from Carmen Slypen replaces the Google shot. (RL)

Approaching the above to interview Goodliffe ... Yvonne Johnson confirms Nick's research, 2 Milton Terrace (now 3 Abinger Place) as she was living there at the time of filming. (SJ)

So, as Chris Fippard establishes, "2 Saxon Street" is really Abinger Place, Lewes. Chris has further researched the address and his findings can be read in the film header section. (RL) Location photo replaces the Google Street View image. SD

And bringing in Goodliffe under the coat.

Much the same as jig016. SJ.
