Scroll down till you get to 'A Taste of Honey'.
Not much info, but I hope it helps.
Are you into film locations?
Ive been trying to find more details of those from this film, i have:
Salford Docks, now Salford Quay, Chinese Steps, off Broad Street, Midway Hotel, Stockport Rd., Trafford Rd., Cock Robin and old Barton bridges
------------------------
When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk
The Chinese steps were on Brindleheath Road in Salford. The road is still there but the steps were demolished in the late 60's when the area was redeveloped. Cockrobin bridge is still there. It crosses the canal, (now filled in), and railway at the junctions of Laundry street and Holland street in Salford. The area in general is known as Brindleheath. Barton swing brigde is unchanged from then. It's a swing bridge over the MAnchester ship canal. Trafford road is again totally changed from when the film was made but it was where the entrance to Salford docks was located. The original facade of the dock entrance is still there.
shareMy guess would be the caverns near Castleton in Derbyshire. They're usually known for the Blue John stone which is mined there, but there are also stalagtites and stalagmites there I think. The landscape shot just before the caves scene looks rather like the slopes of Mam Tor just above the mines/caverns. Google 'Blue John' for more info - or here is a link

Definitely Barton Bridge on the Manchester Ship Canal. You can even make out the name painted along the side.
To add a few more...
The church where she has the small doll is St Marys in Stockport Market. Barely changed.
There is also a scene with Murray Melvin stood under a railway arch, but looking down into a valley. That is Stockport Viaduct, one of the arches on the hill (station side) overlooking what is Daw Bank Bus Depot.
I realise that this is an old thread, but thought you might like the following information. I watched part of the filming when I was a kid growing up in Ancoats. I distinctly remember the scene near the waterfall which is on the river near Cambrian st, still there in Manchester. The opening scenes are of Oldfield Rd in Salford and then Albert Square. The scene of kids playing football is of my old school, St Ann's again off Cambrian St. There is a canal scene, not Manchester Ship Canal, which is of the top of the Rochdale/ Ashton and Peak forest canal at Pollard St/ Gt Ancoats st. The school playground scene of girls is a school, long gone which bordered Barmouth St with Bradford pit winding engine towering in the background. Most has all disappeared now, sadly, but we have to move on I suppose. love this film, one of my favourites, especially as this is where I was brought up, some may say dragged.
Hope that this helps.
Best Regards,
Phil
