Looking Back at Ireland/UK Trip

Stopped by the Flickr page and there were those pics from our trip to Ireland and England earlier this year. The graveyard photos are Highgate Cemetery, where so many Hammer Dracula scenes were filmed. Also featured is Bray Studios and Black Park - home of Hammer Horror as well as The Oakley Court aka Frankenfurter Castle, also a Hammer haunt..

The Many Faces of Bray Studios

I'm fascinated by trying to place bits and pieces from the various Hammer Horror films shot at Bray.
It is easiest to ID the town square with the large pass-thru used in various films (most noticeably Brides of Dracula, Curse of The Werewolf etc.). Other times, though familiar it is hard to place the shot. I would love to visit Bray and Black Park one day - though I suspect the bulldozers will arrive before I will.
This page is a good as any I've found at comparing the evolution of the Hammer Bray sets.
