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.

Dawn breaks in Liverpool as Old Fred escapes from Pepperland after a surprise attack by Blue Meanies. Although this production is an animation, several real Liverpool locations are featured within collages as the Yellow Submarine heads for the Earth's surface.

To the tune of Eleanor Rigby, the Yellow Submarine passes all the lonely people. To the left of centre stands The Flat Iron public house at the junction of St. James Place and Mill Street in Toxteth, Liverpool 8 and Nick Coats advises that the dolphin decorated lamp-posts stand outside St. George’s Hall at the top of Lime Street in L1 as well as outside the museums in William Brown Street L3.

This is how the location of the Flat Iron pub looks now with St. James Place in the foreground and Mill Street running into the right distance. John Lennon's grandfather used to perform at the pub which lasted until the mid 1970s. Image copyright Google.
