Meet at Chilham Railway Station at 2 pm
Our first location stop will be Chilham Mill, where the ‘battle on the river’ scene was filmed in September 1943. We hope to be given permission to go inside the mill and see where ‘Bob Johnson’ and ‘Peter Gibbs’ rewarded ‘Leslie’ and ‘Terry’ for finding the evidence that proved that ‘Thomas Colpeper JP’ was the glueman.
We will then walk to ‘Julliberrie’s Grave’ (the location for the ‘pow’wow’ scene) and Chilham Square, from where we will follow the Chilham Millennium Heritage Trail and discover locations that featured as ‘Chillingbourne’ in several key scenes.
The walk will be led by Paul Tritton, author of A Canterbury Tale – Memories of a Classic Wartime Movie and Steve Crook of the Powell & Pressburger Appreciation Society.
No need to book. Just turn up. Nothing to pay but please give generously to our collection in aid of Kent Kids Miles of Smiles Holiday Respite Home.
Getting there. Find Chilham on www.streetmap.co.uk. If travelling by car, park at the station, in the village car park off Taylor’s Hill, or wherever on-street parking is allowed. If you will be travelling by rail, normally there is a train at 13.10 from Ashford International and at 13.22 from Canterbury West, arriving at Chilham at 13.31 and 13.40 respectively. Please check with http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ before your journey because engineering works sometimes disrupt Sunday services. If you arrive late, follow the waymarked ‘Stour Valley Walk’ from the station to the mill and join us there.
