Beefsteak 305 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Most of it was filmed (As far as I can tell ) around the same area ,mind you I was wondering where those shops were. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickety 1 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Is the answer St Albans Road? just seen the Sporting Chance close by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickety 1 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nah, Not a clue, looks like one of those steep roads off Mapperley top, probably off Porchester... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 No it's not St Albans road. Rhys Ifans character actually said the road name at one point (I thought that might give it away) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Steep hill wasn't it? I'd go for Second Avenue, Carlton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Steep hill wasn't it? I'd go for Second Avenue, Carlton. Spot on that man , There's one shot near the end where it looks down the hill (As Robert Carlysle is driving off ) where you can see Carlton Forum /Frank Wheldon playing fields and the old school before it was burnt down. If the camera was to pan right a bit more you would see my old house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
