The Reelstreets Spring 2023 Tour took place on Monday 22nd May. Meeting outside the Cable Street entrance to Shadwell Overground station in E1 at 12.00hrs the group headed south into Wapping on a walk of around two and a half miles that covered an area seen in over twenty productions.
After the Event
What an enjoyable and successful day it was. A fine turnout of 15 supporters together with fine weather was rewarded by the inclusion of Ray Newton, a local historian who had watched the filming of scenes for ‘A Prize of Gold’ in 1955 and who talked about the history of a bridge seen in the film and pointed other interesting buildings in the vicinity.
Dropping in at ‘Turner’s Old Star’ public house one of the staff members, here seen with part of the group, happily talked about films and television shows filmed there.
And some of the group that missed that conversation!
