According to the Will Hay biography 'Good Morning Boys' he lived in a large house at 45 THe Chase, Norbury. When his marriage broke up in 1934 he moved to a mock-Tudor house in Hendon Way and later at the Mount Royal Hotel when he became ill with cancer he moved to a flat on the Chelsea Embankment.

Hi Mark

I don't remember where I read it (may even have been this site ) but I'm pretty sure that Will Hay stayed at the Swan Hotel, Alton (still there!) while filming Oh Mr Porter

I have often looked at old British movies and wondered where stars like Kenneth More, Stanley Holloway, Derek Bond etc.etc.etc.etc. went home to at the finish of the movie. Indeed, in the case of Holloway I spent some time researching exactly that and learned that he lived on the Kent coast near Folkestone. Does anyone know of a source of information giving details such as the location of the homes of yesteryears stars ?

Many of them lived in Buckinghamshire because that was close to quite a few of the studios. It was also quite easy to get into the West End because most British film stars also did a lot of stage work. In fact it was often the case that they did a few films as well as their stage work.

Some one should start a thread up here on film locations and whats there now, a lot of people would be really intreated, even include before and after pictures....

There have already been several threads about this, but usually under the title of the film. Maybe we need a separate forum for them so that we can have lots of different threads all in the same area?
