That's lovely. You've reminded me, I live near Tilbury Docks which they passed off as Venice for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Just along the road from there is the Tilbury Fort which was turned into the Tibetan prison for Batman Begins.

Stuffs everywhere!

They are some great examples because most local people don't give it a second thought but some location scout saw that and went "well there's our Tibetan prison.

Liverpool has done well as a location because we were rather ignored for decades so the Victorian dock complex was left untouched, where, elsewhere, they'd have just been demolished and some soulless glass and concrete apartment blocks would have been built all over it.
