Where is This 58

Gone, but not forgotten.
As I don't know the exact location where this picture was taken, the district will suffice, but I do want you to tell me who the two men are and what is going on?

Michael,

It looks a bit like that doesn't it, they have caught the one poor old dear and all the rest are hiding behind the curtains.

Nice thought, but its wrong sorry.

Is it the 1959 General Election and it could be Hollingworth who stood for Labor in All Saints.

Hi Phil
Is it anything to do with the making of the film Cathy Come Home in Hingestion Street
Maggie
 
I agree with Maggie and Judy. It's director Ken Loach and the writer of Kathy Come Home, Jeremy Sandford.
Hingeston Street

Allthough a couple of you knew the location and/or what was going on. I am going to give it to Anne as she is the one who ticked all the boxes and answered all the questions.

It is as stated a meeting on the set of Cathy Come Home in Winson Green with director Ken Loach and writer Jeremy Sanford.

I remember watching this film, does anybody have memories of it being filmed.

I liked Carol White who was Cathy, she also starred in Poor Cow.
she died in 1991 aged 50 .
ragga .
 
I have to say that Ray Brooks performance as the husband was pretty good but I much preferred his portrayal as Robbie Box in "The Gambler" some years later on BBC in the seventies.

He's in some soap series at the moment isn't he?

HI WALES ,
How Are You Keeping Fine I Hope Just Reading Your Thread About Cathy Come Home I Missed ThatFilm I Heard It WasCould And It Was In The Paper The Next Day ,
I See You Was Hoping To Get A Copy Of It , Have You Got YourOwn Ideas As To Where You Can Get A Copy Of It , I Would Certainly Like A Copy As Well . If You Haven,t Got A Clue Where To Look I Know Some-one At The BBC Whom Could Help Us Out , But We Would Have To Wait Three Weeks As He As Gone To Kenya To Do Some
Filming For The BBC On Big Cats Which I Think He Said Will Be Shown In October Or November On The BBC, This Gentlemam His Ann Robinsons Manager ,And He Does All
Big Programes , They Call Him Mr BBC ,Hes Behind Most Programes We See On TheBBC Even Children In Need ,So I,m Sure He Could Be A Big ASSET In Getting The Pilot Copy From The Archives At BBC fOR uS ,I Will Em You Shortly Later On Today BEST WISHES ASTONIAN ,;;;;;
 
hi astonian. im fine thanks. i think we can buy a copy on ebay but me thinks they are quite expensive. maybe we could wait till your mate gets back. i realy would love it if any of the scenes were shot in the rose and crown and dad would too beings as though he lived there. talk soon all the best wales.
