Whatever Happened to Harold Smith

Alot of this was filmed in the old Richarson Knifes buildings that are at the end of Scotland Street near Sheffield's City Centre.

Inside one of thier big warehouses were scenes for the film studio, the main character's house and street scene's around his house.

I know this because I worked in the building opposite and my window looked onto the main warehouse door where they were filming.

As they kept asking if we could wait before starting our cars up for going home because they were in the middle of a scene they let us go and look around the set one day.

Lulu used to pop out onto the road in a little mini skirt for a crafty *** and for a 50+ year old lady she looked well :rolleyes:

A crafty ***? Cigarette perhaps? Why do you use asterisks?

Lulu was attractive as a teenage star and still looks pretty darned crunchy today, she has kept her looks well.

The Roxy nightclub in Whatever Happened to Harold Smith was actually the old Adelphi on Vicarage Road in Attercliffe that was turned into a thriving disco  for the movie
What a film location!

Silverstones in the top photo is how it appears in Whatever Happened To Harold Smith

The second shot is a photo of Silverstones at the bottom of Vicar Lane from way back

The whole building has long gone

Hawley Street - another Whatever Happened to Harold Smith movie location filmed around the Campo Lane area (you can see Campo Lane a the top of the photo)

They certainly did like filming around this part of Sheffield!

One of the fun things about hunting down filming locations for movies shot in Sheffield is that it takes you to unexpected places

This one is the University of Sheffield building on Brook Hill opposite the Childrens Hospital and Octagon

The next filming location takes us to one road down from Campo Lane and onto Queen Street just two doors down from the Three Cranes pub!
