So to balance my post about the Ken Films in the USA, now is a post to show how does Walton Films building in the UK looks now. Still this is a fun game.

I try to locate the exact physical address of this company and I got from an old catalog:

 -

The physical address is:

282 Kensington High Street, London

And using the google map street view and satellite view, we got as follows:

From the top (buliding pointed by red arrow is used to be Walton Films)

 -

And this is today's front face:

 -

But from another post in this forum, there was also another address used by Walton Films, i.e:

87 Richford Street, London.

So this is now (I could not find the exact numbers since it might have been demolished for these new flats, but this flat was taken from the one right in front of 88 Richford Street, London)

 -

The same question with my other post, any of you have visited this physical address other than mail orders?

Any actual pictures of the old shop?

cheers

Winbert, how about Pathescope Ltd, North Circular Road, Cricklewood, London, NW2. I do not have the street number, maybe Maurice Leakey or someone else knows what it was.

Paul, a buliding number is a must especially in the big road like Circular Road.

But luckily I got the number, it is 970, North Circular Road. Follow my other post for this find. [Wink]

Here is 87 Richford Street, London, W6 7HN. I went there for their closing down sale, it seemed to be next to Studio Films Lab. It is right near a 90 degree bend in the road so I suspect not opposite No. 88.
