If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.
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. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

Lombard Wharf on the south bank of The Thames near Lombard Road in Battersea. The same location was used 18 years later for Robbie Coltrane's yard in 'Mona Lisa'.
All motors now gone, bridge still standing, far bank tarted up, off Vicarage Road, Battersea, 'Morgan, a Suitable Case for Treatment' was also here.

Lombard Wharf in SW11. The railway bridge over the Thames is variously known as Chelsea Bridge, Battersea New Bridge, Battersea Railway Bridge or Cremorne Bridge.
Same as 003 but gentrified.

The yard is part of Albion Quay and the gates open out onto Vicarage Crescent / Lombard Road as seen in 'The Deadly Affair'. The area has been redeveloped. Borough of Wandsworth, London SW11.
But the flats in the background remain. Shot from Groveside Court, Vicarage Crescent, Battersea.

Another unknown location ripe for development. Not unknown to Dave W and ripe for development indeed, he sees this as overlooking construction of Wandsworth Bridge roundabout which opened in 1969. A passing bus places the viewpoint beside York Road SW18. Barton House is the tall block of flats on the Fulham side of the river. Another one to tick off. (RL)

One last unidentified location. Dave W puts paid to that accolade, prodding his memory he finds the vacant plot on the Kings Road, twixed Tetcott Road and Upcerne Road. Now, of course, built upon. (RL)
