Could be Pine Wood, could be Boreham Wood!

Kingsbury Motors were based at Kingsbury Road, North West London back then and run by Tony Johnson and Freddie Wilmington.

I'm currently populating my Pinewood pages with frame grabs of studio buildings featured on screen. I'd appreciate any suggestions - I've already grabbed the obvious U.F.O. shots.



PS. I'm not bothered too much about the Mansion and the gardens at present.

Some sequences from the New Avengers ? E.G. - freeing Purdey from the cell in Dirtier by the Dozen ?



Regarding the Fear Merchants location - back projection shows the Rolls heading from Uxbridge to Iver, and there are certainly some light industrial units in the canal area around Uxbridge that could fit the bill.

I take it that you mean the A4006 Kingsbury Road?



If so then, I can now confirm that I have had a look along the length of this (long) road and have been unable to find any premises that look like the screengrabs that Tony put up.



This then brings me back to Pinewood Studios. The screengrabs scream Pinewood to me, but as Tony points out, we still need some proof. Preferably the same area in another production made at the studio.

Have you given Shirley’s World and From A Bird’s Eye View consideration as a possible source of information? Both series had their interiors shot at Pinewood, although Shirley’s World did have a lot of location filming.



This is of course in addition to the other film series shot at the studio, Man In A Suitcase, Strange Report, some episodes of Gerry Anderson’s UFO and The New Avengers. Other shows done at the studio were Interpol Calling in the late fifties and the obscure Court Martial and this Anglo-American co-production did use the front of Heatherden Hall and the extensive gardens.
