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.

An establishment shot that pans Wilton Crescent and zooms towards no 33. Supposed to be Valli's house.

Improved angle replacing one loaded on 8/2/12. SJ

I think I've got the wrong grab as this seems to be a Hollywood version of Portland Place. That really looks like Peck. Is that a blocked up window? Thanks to Tony Reeves' Worldwide Guide to Movie Locations for this and the other locations

Replacing my 8/2/12 shot of 60 Portland Place with a better angle to show that the entrance details are still the same. SJ

Holloway Prison. Real or a mock-up? Tony thinks Hollywood.

Feel I should recognise this . . . . yes of course, facing Barrie House on Lancaster Gate, W2. A location that appears in 'Park Plaza 605', 'Moment of Indiscretion', 'Hour of Decision', 'Front Page Story', 'Strictly Confidential', 'The Man Outside' and 'The Battleaxe'. SJ

Taken from Bayswater Road. SJ

Nice shot of the Lake District. movie-tourist.blogspot.co.uk identifies this as Braithwaite Station which closed in 1966 and is now a private residence. (RL)

Charlotte took this shot, without trespass, of the station now as a private residence. The hills support her location and she MAY seek permission for a more accurate shot when next passing. (RL)

The Station Hotel and a Peck double.

Unchanged, but called The Drunken Duck Inn, Barngates, Ambelside, Cumbria, very much a welcoming beery island in the countryside. SJ

Charlotte Rose has identified this church for us with thanks to Waymarking.com, as what was St. John's, Uldale, Cumbria. Whilst demolished in 1963 due to it becoming unsafe, Charlotte is proposing to capture a photograph of the scene as it is now for us. (RL)

Charlotte lost no time in providing us with a shot of the location now advising that the church site is now a playground. (RL)

Nice scenery. Peck double being conveyed over a bridge. movie-tourist-blogspot.co.uk places this as Grange Bridge, Grange, Keswick Cumbria. But that background 'bothered' Charlotte Rose until she recognised the peak as Lonsdale Fell, that made the bridge Wanthwaite Bridge in St. John's In The Vale. (RL)

Feeling less troubled, she now attaches a shot taken by James Oliver supporting her identification, whilst the trees are rather overgrown now, Lonscale Fell in the background is unmistakeable. (RL)

Langdale Chase Hotel between Windermere and Ambleside

Another welcoming place for a drink, overlooking Lake Windermere. SJ

The Old Bailey in a bit of a mess, seen from from Newgate Street, London EC4. A location seen in a good number of productions including 'The Spaniard's Curse', 'Never Look Back', 'The Blue Lamp’, ‘Hostile Witness’ and 'The Long Dark Hall'.
