Filming Locations

I've now added a large number of filming locations used in this production (actually I did so nearly 2 months ago but they've only just been approved). It took a fair amount of time finding them all so I hope they're of some use to people. I always find it fascinating how widespread on-screen locations become, with scenes based in London being filmed in Liverpool, King's Lynn and Wisbech on this occasion.

Also interesting to note is when the production found their ideal location for Peggoty's Boathouse, on the secluded Benacre Beach in Suffolk, it wasn't until they'd confirmed the location that they found out the exact same stretch of beach was used in the 1969 version of David Copperfield

The location of David's childhood home 'The Rookery', which in reality is in the lovely village of Great Tew in Oxfordshire, should also be appearing soon, I had to re-submit it due to a typo!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the information. Can you share any suggestions on how to do such research? I recently watched a DVD of a film shot in Europe and there were ZERO locations listed on IMDB. (And this was a Robert Altman film!) I wondered if I could find and add the details. Or does it need to come from actual crew members? Thanks.
