NOTES

©1976 Jan Royal

1. Jan's image from 1976 shows major changes to the property that was used for filming ten years earlier.

 

The bedroom, galley-kitchen and hallway where David Hemmings [Thomas] first enters the property, and later where Sarah Miles [Patricia] is made love to under John Castle [Bill], has gone.

 

The only features that remain identifiable from the film are:

What had been an internal courtyard became a patio, and where the bedroom, galley-kitchen and hallway had been became just a paved garden.

 

A recent extension (see image 1b below) has changed this view of the property even more, being built on what was the patio, and rendered in pink. The design of the wooden doors has been retained as the access point, though the proportions are slightly different.

1b. A new wooden-framed doorway has become the extension's external access.

 

The original spiral staircase (as seen in the film) has been moved into the space created to give more room internally (see images below).

 

2. The spiral staircase in the background as per the plan below.
