Love that movie, I remember when it was being filmed around and about the Central Station, I have watched it so many times I think I could take part in it.

I remember that same blind man passing St Aloysius school gate on Bell St every day in the 1950s at dinner time.
Nice to see you on the Board Ray. Hope you are well.

This is one of my favourite films , never get sick of watching it. I found this forum accidently years ago by hunting for photos of the car park being taken down. One of the regulars took dozens of photos each stage of its removal. Was it Kevin? I'm sure it was. I've visited the forum ever since.

Thanks Norman. Yes, I do live in Northumberland, but I'm actually from Whickham, Tyne & Wear. I do get back to the area quite often. I'm never to far away.
