re snOOker's post on 02/04/2024 about possible John sleeping/Ashburton shots. Very hard to determine these as there's not that much to go on. It's never been quite confirmed by exactly which road they would have approached Ashburton, given that they were returning from having been stuck on the bridg...

What is meant by the "cricket field"? I can't work out which scene is being referred to there.

The plot thickens. It looks like a roundabout was built c1962, and then enlarged in the early 70s to accommodate the flyover, and was redeveloped again in the 80s when the flyover was enlarged to pass over the roundabout. This photo is from May 1963 and looks as if the roundabout could be avoided by...

I also found this photo which I think establishes the Tent Field location mmt168.jpg mmt168a.jpg mmt168b.jpg https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.4363781,-5.0481475,3a,28.7y,94.56h,90.31t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipNL8FNEG9XfBiyXv7UbiJFvI2sjk-at5R3KKs8z!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%...

Flabbyroad what a great find. Looks like the roundabout was built in 1962. I think that definitively places them on the roundabout facing the "wrong" way, possibly not sure where they're going. mmt161.jpg I think they probably also went along the Parkway at some point, turned, and then cam...

Not so sure. That leaves out that they went to the Grand Hotel on The Hoe for lunch, then leaving Plymouth via Pemros Road?

I think the most likely route out of Plymouth on leaving the Grand Hotel would be- Eliot Street/Atheneaum Street - B3240 - across Union Street - A374 to North Cross Roundabout - A386 to Milehouse - straight on to St Budeaux via A3064 (where we see the Tamar Bridge behind Miss Winters on Pemros Road....

If this is the same white house then the bus must be momentarily heading north towards Longbridge Road which would make the hill not Leigham, but the one with Boringdon Park Golf Course, and Cundy Close, on it now. That would place them having immediately turned right out of Plymouth road, about her...

That's a difficult one. The Marsh Mills area has seen major redevelopment since 1967 and comparison between contemporary and older maps show there were a fair amount of housing and industry in the area even back then. Suffice to say the Devon Expressway, and the huge flyover and roundabout complex c...

re. the Jolly Jimmy location, The clip just before we cut to the "not very inspiring" view is possibly here? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.4026542,-4.9946544,3a,75y,270.4h,80.8t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s9K2WMYjx79mgDwuuEWdt_A!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumb...
