Locations Not Found.

[Auf Wiedersehen, Pet]

I am not sure if anyone has any Locations that have not been brought up, or have a scene in thier mind and wonder where that was filmed.

I have a few of my own, so I will make sure they are not easy and known before I post them.

There's two that come to my mind.. but probably not too bad to sort.. ish..

I would have loved to see the exact spot where Barry's van drove up to Sir James's house when dropping off Nev, but its been redeveloped on that estate partly and Chek wont let anyone in the main hall.. so, a known location but would have been nice to see where it was done.

The other one that seemed to go quiet was the end of the scene of Oz and Dennis heading to Barry's, are we all sure its the A453 heading towards to M1??
It look's like it to me.. ?

[Auf Wiedersehen, Pet]

Yes, I think so.
Its a tough one, as the Trees and Bushes have grown over a lot, but it looks correct.

What about where Neville goes looking for work at the beginning of ROT7 P1?
Its half built half not, but maybe it could be worked out. I am pretty sure the estate will be still standing now.

Very True, could have been Notts or Newcastle.. Good one..

Here are 2 locations that haven't been found from Series 1.

From 'If I Were A Carpenter'



From 'The Accused'


Happy Hunting!

This might be a tough one, but there is a very distinctive looking building in one of the screen shots, behind Neville. Just above Neville's head.

From 'If I Were A Carpenter'

When I first saw this scene I initially thought it was Saltwell Park but that is in Gateshead and Gateshead council run it not Newcastle. I would say this is Leazes Park, Newcastle.

Does Ally's house still need finding? Also at the end of The Return of the Seven part 2 when the lads are outside some flats and discussing where they will meet up on the motorway and Barry arrives to tell them the wedding is off, has this location been found?

[Auf Wiedersehen, Pet]

No Allys house is still not found.

The location of the lads saying goodbye to Barry, or not is below, final location.

Could be Nottingham or Newcastle, to me it looks like, Netherfield, Long Eaton and Beeston from the style of houses.. trouble is my house is even similar.. but if not Newcastle then it could be one of loads of places in Notts... We need to see more background i think.. will have to view the episode again.

I should check that link before I ask .


I've tried looking on Google Maps and estate agent sites for Ally's house before, it could be Nottingham or Newcastle but if it is Newcastle it's a safe bet to say it's Darras Hall. As for the lake in If I Were a Carpenter it defiantly looks like Leazes Park, if I get time I'll try and get up that way and take some replica shots.

[Auf Wiedersehen, Pet]

Nice one Geordie, that would be great.....

Ive been and tried to match up Leazes to the clip.

Doesnt look too convincing tbh. There is a building in the reflection and something that could be the roof of st james' park but I couldnt get it to all match up.

There is a higher probabilty that this is London somewhere, and the sign is just a bit of dressing to enable the viewer to know this was meant to take place back in Dens home town.
If it is Leases, that little cafe is long gone. Altho as a kid I vaguely remember a cafe and a shop, Im sure it was the wooden building wich still exists, not a semi temporary breeze block construction.

The fact is, afaik, there was no location shooting in Newcastle for series one anywhere. The clip of the tyne bridge when Den and vera are at the solicitor is film stock footage, again to establish where we are.

Its a tough one, going to have a look again tomorrow for London Boating lakes etc, around Elstree area or not too far.
