Pubs in Film 'George in Civvy Street' - Britmovie

lastpubrunner · 02-05-2007, 12:33 PM

Can anyone tell me if the pubs in the George Formby film 'George in Civvy Street' existed in real life ?

One of the pubs was called The Unicorn. I'd be very interested to know where this film was made and if the pubs did/do exist.

Thank you for any replies

Hello,

I too, would like to know where The Unicorn Pub is/was in the George Formby film. I have a photograph of my father (just after the war - still in uniform) with George Formby outside the Unicorn pub. My fathers name is Les Rhodes (NZ) and wondered what the circumstances were for him to be there at the time of filming I would assume. Any information would be great. Please reply

Hello Glennis

Would it be possible to scan the photo and post it on here? That might remind someone of the location.

I am also very interested to know where it was - although might it have been a studio set?
