BRIDLINGTON OLD TOWNYO16 4QA

Areas of Westgate, High Street and St.

Johns Avenue were transformed for

filming into Walmington-on-Sea.

Street furniture that would look

out of place in the 1940s was

removed and the roads had a

temporary surface laid to remove

any sign of modern day road

markings.

Businesses and homes became

film sets and everyone worked

together to keep life as normal as

possible during filming.
