Meet Mr Callaghan

As the titles end, Slim Callaghan (Derrick De Marney) walks to his office where Cynthis Meraulton is about to call. The corner of Furnival Street and Norwich Street in EC4 identified by Jules Ballantyne.

Peter called too, and captured the location now.

After August Meraulton is found dead in Lincoln's Inn Fields, a policeman leaves the film's Ensell Street Mortuary as Callaghan heads to examine the body.

Detective Inspector Gringall of Scotland Yard is on the case and links Callaghan with Cynthis Meraulton. The gateway to the old New Scotland Yard on Derby Gate, London SW1 also seen in 'The Blue Parrot' and 'The Frightened Man'.

The same famous location now from Peter, who just beat Simon James to the shot as they both took the same picture on the same day.

After getting his better clothes back from the pawnbroker, the private eye arrives at the offices of William Meraulton by taxi. Tothill Street in SW1 with Westminster Abbey in the background.

New building to right but the Abbey stands tall. SJ

The taxi driver is paid before Callaghan goes inside to question Miss Meraulton's fiancé. Facing east on Tothill Street with the corner of Matthew Parker Street to the left.

And a new building to the left. SJ

Another cab is taken, this time to the home of Bellamy Meraulton. Belgrave Square in SW1.

There's Seaford House, seen in The Wild Geese, in the background. SJ

Callaghan enters to set up Bellamy in an effort to find the truth. Looking north-east towards Chapel Street from Belgrave Square.

Approaching 28 Belgrave Square. SJ

The investigator returns to his office.

Certainly I have spent an unquantifiable amount of time on this one and I know it has been discussed in a number of forums but Jules Ballantyne has finally come up with the answer. The corner of Furnival Street and Norwich Street, London EC4. A Google shot to support until a real life visit. (RL)... and after 8 years, I finally visited. SJ

Sergeant Fields (Frank Sieman) waits for Callaghan before escorting him to see Gringall.

Having sent Cynthia away to a secret address, Callaghan visits her apartment to question the maid. Jules Ballantyne's mission to locate these deco flats has finally been rewarded, St James's Court on Prince Albert Road, London NW8. The apartment block is also seen in 'A Touch of Larceny', 'Miranda' and 'For Members Only'. (RL)

With thanks to the concierge for agreeing to my taking photographs. (RL)

Knowing that he's being followed, Callaghan eludes his pursuer before going to see Cynthis. Outside St James's Court on St James's Terrace off Prince Albert Road.

We would all have been surprised had that not now been a designated parking area. (RL)

Callaghan leaves Paul Meraulton's office after getting him to sign a confession about swindling money from August.

Tottenham Street (27), London W1 With thanks to Jules Ballantyne for providing me with that vital piece of extra help. (RL)

The camera follows Callaghan as he crosses the pavement.

As Gringle builds his case against the private detective, Callaghan takes a taxi to Scotland Yard.
