Stable Door, The

Collecting George (Harry Locke) from outside the prison he's been released from, his son Harry (Frank Jarvis) drives home. The corner Heathfield Road and Heathfield Avenue in SW18.

The camera pans towards the prison as a bell strikes the hour. Looking from Heathfield Avenue towards Wandsworth Prison on Heathfield Road SW18. The prison can be seen in a number of productions including 'There Was a Crooked Man', ‘The Time of His Life, ‘The Birthday Present’ and 1958’s ‘Law and Disorder’.

Additions and a little wall have appeared. SJ

A group of warehouse Workers buy newspapers before entering the pub where Bert overhears them talking about moving a load of radios. The White Swan at the corner of Prusom Street and Wapping Lane E1.

Sad to see that my once 'local' has been 'upgraded' to the 'Dockers Inn'. (RL)

Armed with a camera, Harry makes his way to get a job at Craig's warehouse. The entrance to Wapping station on Wapping High Street.

Oh dear, even the station has been 'upgraded'. (RL)

Facing west on Wapping High Street E1 with the junction of Wapping Lane to the centre. A similar capture can also be seen in 'To Sir, With Love'.

'Memory Lane', there was no zebra crossing there in my days! (RL)

Looking north-east along Cinnamon Street from the junction with Clegg Street and Clave Street with Hilliard's Court in the left distance.

Yet more changes. (RL)

Harry finds Craig's Electronics' old warehouse on the film's Chestnut Street where the radios are to be stored. Facing south-west on Cinnamon Street with Columbus House at the corner of Wapping Lane in the left distance.

And then there are times when one wishes the passage of years had had a positive influence. (RL)

Photos are taken. Looking south along Clave Street from the junction of Cinnamon Street and Clegg Street with Middleton's and St, Bride's Wharves over Wapping High Street in the right distance.

I still don' t understand how I missed this shot the last time that I was there. (RL)

Every detail of the building is recorded. The corner of Cinnamon Street and Clegg Street.

Do those two street lamps have to do the same job as that single one managed in 1966? (RL)

A railway engine whistle sounds in the background as more shots are captured. The still extant warehouse on Cinnamon Street between Rose House and the corner of Clegg Street.

A trifle off line due to that parked car. (RL)

The upper floor of the warehouse on Cinnamon Street that still stands between Ross House and Clegg Street.

A sign of the times I am afraid. (RL)

A truck pulls up outside after Harry returns to the street from inside the warehouse and the young crook helps the Delivery Men unload office equipment. Looking along Cinnamon Street towards the junction of Clegg Street and Clave Street in E1.

Do we really need double yellow lines here?

As he and his son discuss the robbery on the riverside, George suggests that the job is carried out on Friday night. Land adjacent to St. Katharine Dock entrance in E1.

The foreground has changed a little, including the ability to replicate the camera position. (RL)

Harry argues that the robbery should take place that night in case more locks, bars and alarms are installed. St. Katharine's Way with the warehouses of St. Katharine Docks in the background.

The swing bridge has long gone. (RL)

Having to depart, Harry turns from his father and walks away. St. Katharine's Way with Tower Bridge in the left background.

I was fortunate enough to see an influx of boats to the dock on the Platinum Jubilee weekend. (RL)

George leaves the scene just as Mr. Frampton from Capital & General Insurance speaks with Mr. Craig about security. The swing bridge on St. Katharine's Way in E1. The bridge appears in 'To Sir, With Love' and 'Soho Incident' while the present bridge can be seen in 'The Long Good Friday'. Other views of the docks appear in 'Attack on the Iron Coast', 'To the Devil, a Daughter' and 'The Trygon Factor'.

Yes, we have seen this changed scene in other films. (RL)

On Friday night, Bert keeps lookout while Sid scales the wall towards the warehouse roof. Cinnamon Street with Wapping Dock Street to the right.

How good to see that the cobbles remain. (RL)

Sid (Harry Fowler) tells George that he can't budge the skylight which has been fitted with new padlocks. Cinnamon Street, outside the warehouse adjacent to Ross House with Wapping Lane crossing the background and Wapping Dock Street in the darkness on the left.

With such a dark capture I cannot be sure that I was in the exact place but technically it is correct. (RL)

The gang's van approaches. The corner of Wapping High Street and Clave Street in E1.

The screen capture said that is where I should be. (RL)

A police car cruises through the darkened streets. Looking from the corner of Wapping Lane and Cinnamon Street with Jackman House at the corner of Green Bank in the centre distance.

A clearer view of what was once my 'shopping parade'....but let's not forget the pub!. (RL)

Bert sends a signal to the gang as the patrol car turns another corner, bringing it closer to Craig's warehouse. Looking along Cinnamon Street from the corner of Wapping Lane in Wapping E1.

A black van made a similar speedy right turn when I was there but had I captured it the view would have been obliterated. (RL)
