NEAREST AND DEAREST

GB

Dir: John Robins
Starring: Hylda Baker and Jimmy Jewel

A feuding brother and sister struggle to keep a decrepit pickle factory afloat

This comedy film was a spin-off of the long running television series of the same name though it failed to attract the same interest. A lot of it was filmed in Blackpool and as a result there are trams in a few scenes which include a Boat type, a double-deck Balloon and a Brush single car.

This is a particularly fine shot of a Boat tram making its way towards the tower
As dusk falls a Balloon tram makes its way past the Pleasure Beach
And as the sun sets a Brush tram skips along the sea front
