Very interesting stuff Vi. Nothing much changed here except for a considerable clean up of the buildings. Thanks for posting them Gene.

Thanks for that Vi, much appreciated! Looks as though in the photo of the corner of Pindock Mews, in the background a new house has since been built to the right of the existing house (where there was a space of possible wasteland in the 80's picture), although it's been built in the style of the older houses so much more pleasant looking than other modern architechture.

The police investigation into the raid that killed three members of Harry Rawlins' gang is falling apart, and D I Resnick is now off the case; he angrily resigns. Meanwhile, Dolly Rawlins meets up with the security van contact at Heston Services and finds out that the heist must now take place earlier than originally planned. Dolly then meets Linda, Shirley and Bella at the lockup, telling them that the security van will be carrying £700,000. However, Linda needs to find a suitable vehicle for Dolly to drive as she will be in the lead truck ahead of the security van on the day of the upcoming raid. Later on, Linda watches a driver of a dry cleaning van make a delivery. He leaves his keys in the ignition and she steals the truck. Linda jumps in the van... Clive Court, Lanark Road, Maida Vale THEN NOW Linda makes her escape down Lanark Road... THEN NOW The three widows, with the help of Bella, have now finalised their plans and are ready to attempt a re-run of the robbery that killed their husbands - a flashback has already revealed that Harry Rawlins is the "fourth man" who escaped from the tunnel blaze in a bakery van. Early next morning, Dolly struggles to start the stolen cleaning truck which Linda has slept in overnight, but she eventually manages to get away and into position to wait for the security van when it arrives. Despite arguments continuing between the rest of them over whether Dolly can still be trusted, Linda, Shirley and Bella all meet early at Harry Rawlins' lockup under the railway arches (Broad Street Station, closed 1986) and leave in their own van to start the raid. However, Bill Grant, who seems to work for the still alive Harry Rawlins, watches them leave. The widows leave the lockup... Appold Street, City of London THEN NOW Linda, Shirley and Bella wait anxiously for Dolly, who is also waiting for that security van... Concert Hall Approach, Lambeth THEN NOW Vi

Great stuff Vienna, thanks for posting these up on here. You'd never guess that the pics for Appold Street were one and the same place. You deserve and extra layer of litter in your tray for your work. Sam.

A Samsons Security cash van is travelling along a south London street. Dolly Rawlins is waiting for it in a stolen truck. Stamford Street, Southwark THEN NOW She manages to get in front of the security van and drives across Waterloo Bridge. Linda, Shirley and Bella have now seen them and are following closely behind in their van. THEN NOW They enter the Strand Underpass... THEN NOW At a certain marker in the tunnel, Dolly suddenly brakes hard; the security van smashes into the back of the dry cleaning van in front. The heist begins... The women steal an estimated £400,000 - £500,000. Dolly escapes in the dry cleaning van. Linda, Shirley and Bella make their escape on foot and run to a nearby getaway vehicle. Strand Underpass THEN NOW Linda runs on ahead and gets into a white Ford Escort van. She drives back to pick the other two up. Shirley falls over and hurts her ankle, but she manages to get into the van just in time! Kemble Street, Holborn THEN NOW Vi

Excellent pics once again furball, thanks for taking the time to put these together. I had the boxed set of Blu-Rays delivered last week so will be giving all three series another viewing soon. Sam.
