Brentford, 1963, on film.
Talking Pictures TV will be showing the 1963 film "The Marked One" on 10/10/25 at 10:45am (and probably on its Encore service on the website).This features scenes filmed at Brentford Dock, Brentford High Street, The Mall flats on Boston Manor Road as well as The Pilot public house in Chiswick.The opening scene faces north along Dock Road from the turning circle (hardly changed in 60 years until Ballymore arrived). A van drives towards the camera, which turns 180 degrees to reveal the railway on the working dock.This would be of suitable viewing for anyone interested in the history of Brentford Dock.Up the Bees !
