I am a retired Police Officer having served in the Metropolitan Police.In 1986 I transferred from an inner London Police Station to an outer one , Biggin Hill. I was on patrol with a colleague and we drove past the cottages , my colleague commented that the cottages were used to film the opening scenes from 'The Long Good Friday'and actally remembered the filming. Regarding the differing number of windows , perhaps over 40 years some building work has been carried out and an extra window fitted.<br />Steve LunnyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377258625512511273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934308457187755109.post-11851219907087480522020-02-02T15:19:27.224-05:002020-02-02T15:19:27.224-05:00Nobody know?
