| I know the BFI claim it is 1960 but him indoors says the cars place it firmly in '64 Nice find really enjoyed the film, Don't want to fall out with him indoors, but I was working on building of the New Red Lion with started approximately 1962 and was finished 1964/5 where McDonald's is now. When work started the dual carriageway was already in place and the demolition of the gas works was well under way. the gas works had near enough disappeared by 1965 so the date of the film must be near enough right. I can also remember the Old shops in the high street being pulled down to make way for the dual carriageway to continue on though the high street on to Hounslow. |
