  • Capture 1

Longford where Waterman is diagnosed as diabetic. There was a hospital near Longford in Gloucestershire, demolished in the late 70s.

London street as taxi draws up. Identified by Clive Turner as St Mary's Terrace, W2.

Better taken in winter. SJ

Francis and Waterman enter their block from the taxi. These mansions are just north of Westway east of Paddington Green which is The Blue Lamp territory.

Plastic sheeting! SJ

Wooland at the same place next to frustratingly blurred name plate identifying flats... in fact not so frustrating after all. St Mary's Mansions, with thanks to Clive Turner.

More white paint at the bottom but the name plate is still there, and of course I forgot to take the next one! Seen in "Moment of Indiscretion" and next door in "Alfie Darling." SJ

Wooland, Hylton and Waterman pass the famous much-missed Euston Arch, formerly on Drummond Street NW1. Various views of the old station appear in 'Play it Cool', 'No Love for Johnnie', 'Indiscreet' and 'A Honeymoon Adventure'.

The same location now from a similar angle, but maybe not the same height. Euston's Doric Arch stood on Drummond Street which used to run through where the current station stands. The truncated ends of the street still exist as Drummond Street and Doric Way. Replacing the Google Streetview of 22/4/13. SJ

Panning left. The arch was also seen in 'No Place for Jennifer'.

Looking left. SJ

The trio board for Inverness. The modern Euston station can be seen in 'Schizo', 'Treacle Jr.' and 'Bartleby'.

Sloppy. Looking the wrong way and probably not even the correct platform. SJ

The police stop the train at "Blair Atholl," Perthshire.

Police and ambulance drive away from the station. Looks more home counties than the highlands.
