By happy coincidence, this building - which is still standing by the way - stands on what was once a real hospital called the Victoria Hospital for Women and Children. By the time this film was made the hospital had been demolished and this large apartment block had been erected in its place (built in 1950). It's also a fine building but one that doesn't make it onto film so I have included and Streetview of it below. But first you can see the car park in front with the very same curved low wall. Still there after all these years.

Phil, thank you for this interesting detail. I used the snapshot here (http://gwulo.com/atom/23826) as it shows Barker Road with Bracken Hill (red roof)in the Background.
Regards, Klaus
Hi Klaus, great stuff, it's amazing how much stuff is captured, albeit inadvertently, on camera. Cheers, Phil
