Great shot of Bath Rd Sheds to look out for at the end of the film.

And part the way through, but only briefly.
Also, towards the end as the train is racing to the station, there is a short scene at a cricket pitch - keep your eye on the ball!

The village shots are Freshford village Use to go there fishing with My Dad and another fireman, catch the 10 10 am from BTM to Freshford then walk along the line over the Avon bridge and down over the bank
That was 1956 the film was made in 1952 and came out in 1953
