The 2004 TV series ‘Blackpool’ reportedly had scenes filmed in Brentford. Does anyone know which scenes and where?
I haven’t seen anything that says scenes were filmed in Brentford. Where did you hear?
I read it here (under the overview section) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpool_%28TV_serial%29. I think I’ve read it elsewhere too, though they may be just getting their information from the same source and just repeating it. I know most every location used in the series but the location of the police station that’s seen two or three times during the series is one I can’t find. I was wondering if it was located in Brentford.
The Beatle’s Hard Days Night featuring Ringo Starr has scenes filmed near Kew Bridge with Brentford gas works in the background.

The gentle gunman….pottery road, netley road
I lived in Brentford in the 60’s to 70’s. My mum and dad ran a newsagent shop in Greet Road before the tower blocks were built. I remember as a child I had a day of school because they filmed an episode of Dixon of Dock Green with a robbery scene filmed in our shop. I got to stand behind the counter and watch. I also remember when we moved to the new shop close to the tower blocks having Dr Who filmed in Harvey house where I used to do my paper round. I walked to the film set with John Pertwee who had come into the shop
I delivered newspapers from that shop
Was your mum Sheila trimmer and was the shop opposite the North Star pub?
I remember one dark winters night in the early 60s filming taking place in Clayponds Lane area. We lived in Harnage Road till 1964. I feel sure the filming was for Z Cars and at one time I had Brian Blessed’s autograph(he played Fancy Smith). The ‘chuck wagon was parked there and they gave us kids lots of left over food – cream cakes as I remember. Derek Trimmer – I remember the newsagents very well. My grandfather and his wife lived opposite in what was once The Greet Dining Rooms, and my mother Thelma Chapman used to work for your parents part time. My dad was well known inteh area as he was born without any arms.
I remember in 1959 aged 6 seeing a film being made outside my house in Hamilton Road. A busty blonde actress starred. I recently tracked it down. It was a film called The Challenge starring Jayne Mansfield and Anthony Quayle. Stills from the film can be seen on the Reelstreets website.
I think around 78 or 79, the playground of Green Dragon school was used to film opening credits of a programme called “A Child’s Place”. The camera was on top of the first tower block. We were made to run around and then a whistle was blown and we laid down to create the words of the title.
