Filming location in Dulwich, 1974

[Regan]

Right,

I have a few more pictures that may or may not be Dulwich. I believe pictures 2, 3, 4 & 7 are Peckham.

See what you think, and thanks in advance again !

Couple of the shots (4 and last one) look rather like the streets around Pepys Road, New Cross. Shot 3 looks like one of the streets of Meeting House Lane/Friary Road area.

Just guesses I'm afraid.

[Regan]

Cheers Peckhamgatecrasher.

I'll have a look on Virtual Earth see if anything matches...

The top one looks very much like the chapel at Camberwell old Cemetary. The film Entertaining Mr Sloane was filmed there also.

[Vik]

Looking at it again, i'm not so sure now, looks too small:-S

[SimonM]

5th and 7th pics are Underhill Road: 1st one by Honor Oak Mansions looking up past the cemetery, the last one at the junction with, I think Upland, (but might be one of the others paralel)

[Asset]

2 & 3 looks like Brook Drive in E&C. (Also the location of a Dexy's Midnight Runners video).

The church looks really familiar to me too.

[Incitatus]

The last one looks like it could be the corner of langton rise & Underhill road - looking back down Underhill. If it is then that house left of frame was being used to film Spooks - much inferior show about policing national security- a couple of weeks back.

And Camberwell old cementary backs onto that corner.

[Incitatus]

Just seen Simon M's post, looks like he agrees, then it is the same house they filmed Spooks, spooky.

And is that army types going into that house, cause when I walked past the Spooks set they had a load of gun toting secret military types running around that house's back garden, perhaps it was a homage.

Note how white window frames are scarce on the Victorian properties. Much nicer.

The fifth one down is definitely outside Honor Oak Mansions. Memories!

No 5 car crash is underhill road faceing up with cemetery on left

Years ago there was a photo of John Thaw and Dennis Waterman in the Herne and I was told they filmed part of an episode in the pub. This was confirmed by one of the new owners who told me that a director or producer of the programme owned the Herne once.

Don't know if this was the same episode.

[Regan]

Hi EdOldie

Where is the Herne ?

Smith / Chichirara / SimonM / Incitatus - EXCELLENT !

Can now add Underhill Road to my itinerary on Sunday !

Thanks a lot !!

(If you do have any more thoughts on the other pictures, don't hesitate !)

[EDOldie]

The Herne in Forest Hill Road/Peckham Rye, I think owned by the same people who own the Palmeston in LL. V. popular with the local yummy mummys. Etc etc.

It was, once, a dark south london boozer. Club like almost. Perfect setting for the Sweeny

[Regan]

Looking on Virtual Earth, there is a building on the corner of Upland Rd / Underhill Rd that has a polygon shaped corner. Is that the one you think is in the screen grab ?

And just to clarify, Is Honor Oak Mansions at the junction of Underhill Road and Rydale ?

Thanks guys !

[trinity]

Yep - thats the one. I drove past it today and that view has scarcely changed.

[dogkennel]

By the way, Regan, following on from your original post and screen grabs featuring the Dawson Heights estate, you might be interested to know a notorious fact about another drinking and womanising legend of the 1970s. In 1980, Bon Scott of AC/DC died on Overhill Road, on the other side of Dawson Heights, where he'd been left to sleep in a friend's car.

I thought it was the cemetary too.

I have a vague memory of one episode being filmed in Dulwich Park by the lake - the field opposite the cafe.Or was that another Police thing.

Mona Lisa was filmed in Dulwich. The crew hired the East Dulwich Community Centre for a few weeks as a base, and used Darrell and Crystal palace road as some of their location shots.

A Tango advert was filmed by the old boat kiosk in Dulwich park - not in the same league as Sweeney

[SimonM]

>>and used Darrell and Crystal palace road as some of their location shots.<<

And Upland Road. Robbie Coltrane's garage was through the arch near the Music Shop.

[Keef]

There was a thread about all the things that had been filmed around the area some time ago. Can't link to it now, as using my mobile to post. If someone searches All Dates for Mona Lisa you should find it... Quality film it was too!

[Regan]

Ok. Many thanks to all of you who helped me nail this location.

I went there yesterday and got all the pictures I needed at Dawson Heights and Honor Oak Mansions. Managed to park next to a hearse that was parked up in front of Honor Oak !!

Thanks again one and all !

[SimonM]

That's an ex-hearse, parks there all the time and is now covered in "witty" slogans ("some people are dead inside"). Owner by a club DJ or comic or summat now I believe..

[Keef]

Here is the link to the thread I was talking about, you may find it interesting.
