Wayne Kinsey and Gordon Thomson take the lid off the much discussed topic of Hammer film locations in this new lavish book from Peveril Publishing. In the past details of Hammer locations have been sketchy but now the authors, in the first serious work on the subject, present the definitive guide after months of ground work. To make sure it’s both comprehensive and accurate we’ve consulted Hammer personnel, park rangers and their film liaison officers, clergy, farmers, locals, train, river and canal enthusiasts, museum curators, geographers and geologists. Gordon’s had tea at so many private estates he’s lost count! In this book you’ll find:

• A film by film location guide (61 chapters) from Four Sided Triangle - To the Devil a Daughter taking you through practically every location used.
• 3 chapters exploring Hammer’s favourite locations: Bray haunts, Elstree haunts and Black Park
• Further chapters on Exclusive locations, International locations, Comedy locations, Ardmore (Irish) locations and a light chapter to close with, comparing Hammer’s Transylvania to the real one
• 1800 photographs, maps, diagrams
• Photographic comparisons of locations in screengrabs to how they look today
• Maps and diagrams illustrating how to find the locations exactly at various sites
• Comprehensive details pinpointing Hammer locations at Black Park with a suggested tour guide
• We take you inside a number of private properties (with their owner’s consent) to show you many Hammer locations now hidden from the public.
• Historical facts and trivia to some of Hammer’s favourite locations
• Manchester city guide to Hell is a City and Weymouth and Portland guides to The Damned
