zab 47 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'd read somewhere that the final scene was shot in Wembley, they just added a few local builders signs - that might be right because I don't recognise the hill they're on. The following might help, http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/location...g-location.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Had it been a building site at Wembley in the 50's, it would still be under construction Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dick Hatts 1 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Anyone remember another Notts film called "Ragmans Daughter"? I saw it on Tv once back in the 1980's Most of it was filmed in Bulwell. A lot of it round the St Mary's Church/ Train station area. Can't remember much about it, think it was filmed in the mid 70's. My Mum told me she witnessed some of it being filmed.

Originally released in 1972 - so it was probably shot around 1970ish. It was the screen debut for Victoria Tennant, but does not get very good reviews. I vaguely remember seeing it years ago, perhaps time to put it on my Netflix list! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh I recall it was a bit of dull movie. But it was good fun spotting the locations. I just remembered that bits were shot out side the Capitol Cinema in bobbers mill.

rob237 89 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Get some more ale down you Frank...there were/are four! The LMR Bulwell Market station is still in use today for trains on the Robin Hood Line and the NET service.. There was also the GCR station at Bulwell Common - off St Alban's Road - which closed in the 60's. In days of yore, the GCR also had a short lived station called Bulwell Hall Halt (just north of Bulwell Lido) and the GNR had a station at Bulwell Forest, near to Wrigley's Wagon Works.

I think ,Dick,this film has been discussed elsewhere on this site.Simon Rous who plays the Chief Inspector on the `Bill` was the other lead. I think you can buy a copy from C.D. Universe in America. There is even very useful info on how to alter your CD player on this site for `foreign films`.Cheers ,Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Robt P. I've taken your excellent advice Rob, ( ) but I think the railway stations you refer to are slightly outside of my memory parameters. Although I was born, at a very early age, in Bulwell, I was 'matured' in Broxtowe. Most of my childhood trips to Bulwell were for trips to the Lido. The 55 used to pick us up at the bottom of Bradfield Road (a few doors down from our house) and drop us at the top of Camberley Road (the Terminus) - well before the link road to the motorway was 'cut' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ashlar 1 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi I lived in Lombard Street that led onto Willoughby Street near the Savoy cinema. I remember my brother Philip going to the chip shop for Norman Rossington! He gave him a couple of pennies for his trouble! This has been my claim to fame for years!

radfordred 6,284 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Where Arthur Seaton lived (and where the kids ran to the corner shop and Mrs next door was shot in the *rs*) was Salisbury Street. This is close to the old Raleigh entrance on Faraday Lane where Arthur and Bert are seen cycling home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMartin 1 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 As regards the closing scenes, that, and all sorts of other information can be found in the text of newspaper articles at the following url http://www.lentontimes.co.uk/images/galler...night_index.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RWK 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Still on about the film ‘Saturday night etc? Well, two things. One. I was at the Goosefair when the second unit film crew were filming footage of the dodgems’. And two. The bit with Albert Finney at work on a lathe in the Raliegh factory. Well the old bloke working away on another lathe that you can see over his left shoulder is the dad of a kid I went to school with. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barclaycon 569 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Has Bramcote been mentioned as one of the locations ? (I haven't ploughed through all of the posts to check). The book mentions them walking down Bramcote Lane at one point and if I'm not mistaken the chase scenes were on Bramcote Hills. We lived at Cranston Road and the hills were at the back of our house. http://www.pictureth...n=zoom&id=63597 Is this correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Has Bramcote been mentioned as one of the locations ? ..... and if I'm not mistaken the chase scenes were on Bramcote Hills Is this correct? What is the chase scene you are referring to barclaycon? I'll slo-mo my way through the DVD to have a look. I haven't ever seen Bramcote mentioned before as a location in the film......and I haven't read the book, so maybe what is described in the book as Bramcote is somewhere else in the film Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Bramcote hills was supposed to be the closing scene? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
