As per title can anyone identify this street please ?
It is I think somewhere North London - possibly Barnet area
Obviously it is a still from a film. I believe the ornate lamp post is a movie prop. The post box may be genuine and I have tried to use that as a reference but to no avail. The post box could be a prop or it could have been replaced with a more modern type and/ or removed altogether as the film was shot in the fall of 1969.
I know it's a long shot but any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes but there is absolutely no available on line information about the houses and streets used for the film except a brief mention of "properties in North London and Barnet is mentioned.

It is not a studio set and it is not a matte painting. It will be (or have been in 1969) a genuine street

Here is another shot with a building to the right There is a name sign on the gate "something" house but its not been possible to get a clear shot of the sign



Thanks to a PM from a very kind member its been identified as Ravenscroft Park. Barnet
The film is Taste The Blood of Dracula and the reasons for wanting the information are simply because I want to visit the locations used in this movie in the summer. I do have some other places to identify.

As I'm bored I thought I'd check the address and upload a current image. Looks like the correct place?
