King Orry House, Laxey
"King Orry House Laxey" was used as the
film set location instead of Port Erin, where the book sets the action.
The back gardens of King Orry House were used for part of the filming of the
series so that the Laxey harbour (Port Erin harbour)could be in shot over
the shoulders of the actors and actress. in Order to get a full view of the
harbour a local firm of tree surgeons was used to cut back a substantial
tree line. 15 years later they had to return to carry out the same
operation as the trees had all grown back to again obscure the harbour view!
Thanks Frank Bowker for your submission, which included telling us this film
existed.
Barry Street, Arboretum, Worcester
I used to live in Barry street, Arboretum, Worcester where several scenes
were filmed. The houses, were painted with temporary brown paint and the
corner shop (a dog parlour) was transformed into a wonderful general store.
We had horses and carriages parked outside and pictures taken with Peter
Davidson.
Thanks Pauline for your submission.
Cross Street, Congleton
I used to attend the Pentecostal Church in Cross Street, Congleton
which was where the Sunday School and Chapel that appeared in the
production was filmed. The street, a small side street was closed off
one Sunday. false cobble stones in the form of a matting were laid over
the double yellow lines, TV areials were removed from the house that
were in camera shot and all window frames were painted a washable
brown. The church which used to be the local Unitarian Church was
purchased by the Pentecostals shortly before the camera crews descended
and most of the filming took place in the yard and street. The sign
over the Sunday School entrance a seen in the film was made of
polystyrene with the wording engraved into it with some kind of hot
piece of metal. Today the view of the yard is now obscured by a new
extension to the church building but the road and other buildings are
still recognisable. I still have some autographs of the actors to this
day.
