How come you lot missed that?

Am I the only great romantic left on Accy Web?

Great film.

True classic.

But I'm afraid it wasn't meant to be set in Lancashire.

True, Carnforth station was used as Millford railway station. Mainly because it was relatively quiet, and we were still at war.

The town scenes were filmed in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.

Lots of cut-glass, home counties accents. But from station buffet, to cinema foyer, you'll not hear a Lancashire one.
