The story of Joseph Merrick who, despite deformity, became a member of society

This critically-acclaimed historical drama includes a scene at London Liverpool Street station that is preceded by a brief shot of BR Class 2MT 2-6-0 No.46443 (carrying number 644) near Arley on the Severn Valley Railway, a shot originally filmed for the 1978 version of The Thirty Nine Steps (qv).

In the film the train journey is represented by this single shot of a train passing through Arley on the Severn Valley Railway. The locomotive is BR Class 2MT 2-6-0 No.46443.
This is the footbridge at London Liverpool Street. The fact that the film was shot in black and white makes it all the more moving.
