The South Parade Pier, which was Bernie's Holiday Camp's ballroom, caught fire during filming.

Portsdown Hill (Fort Purbrook), which was Tommy's Camp.

The current Park and Ride was the site of a scrap yard for military waste, which was used to film the fire scenes with discarded military items painted silver to resemble giant pinballs.
