Mike and Kevin’s additional research

 

Mike Garfield, feeling that there could be some confusion about the location of the street seen in many of the screen captures decided to investigate the IMBD statement that scenes were shot at Beaconsfield Studios.  Mike prioritised on this additional capture 

and compares these to a Black and White picture of the Studio premises that appears on The National Film and Television School Website at https://nfts.co.uk/history. Unfortunately we have been unable to obtain their permission to reproduce that picture which would have made comparison much easier. It shows, however, that the building in the background had been dressed to provide the backdrop of both the above screen shot and that of those seen throughout the film. Further, and perhaps more convincingly, is the building to the right in all three shots, the window configuration, the entrance, the drainpipes and the “white brick course” all equate. In summary therefore, all the above screen shots would appear to have been a studio set and not an actual Beaconsfield street.

Kevin Bailey also unravels any confusion with his research:
