This is the Recreation Hall, it was situated on a back lot at MGM film studios at Elstree. Yes the building does look like a church, and has appeared in feature films made at MGM.<br /> Perhaps as a church in The Village there were not sufficient church goers, and so the building was put to another use. Where the Arts and Crafts exhibition was held. Where Folk music, and an Exhibition of entertainment and mime were held.<br /><br />David<br />Be seeing youDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-78667574258949026792016-05-22T04:43:54.667+01:002016-05-22T04:43:54.667+01:00Hi David,

If I'm not mistaken, that is also the building used in A, B and C for "D's" office. Engadine made the comment that "he likes impressive offices" to 6 as he exited the car.<br />I really liked the effect that when 6 pushed the door open, there was a DARK STREET scene on the other side of the door...opposite of the light street he was leaving...and the sound of a train as the doors opened.<br />BCNU<br />Karen<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216072285740409212noreply@blogger.com
