That movie was called A Room For Romeo Brass.
Two adjoining houses on Lee Road, numbers 41 and 43, were used for a lot of the films plot.
The Cantrill and Teasdale families were both
relocated to other houses for a month or so,
in exchange for a tidy sum of money.
Other parts of the village used include Mews Lane,
St Wilfrids Square, Crookdole Lane, Lee Road Garages
and the Main Street Park.
The plot:
Romeo and Gavin have been best mates for as long as they can remember. Tough but incredibly charasmatic, the roly-poly Romeo can be as brutish as he is sweet. Conversely, his little friend Gavin is timid and retiring, crippled by a back problem that causes him to limp. Though their lives are rife with hardships and familial dysfunction, the boys always manage to share a laugh and scrabble together a sense of fun. Then one day an older stranger rescues them from a street scuffle and, in a relationship that invites disaster, begins to wedge the lifelong friends apart. Romeo thinks its cool a grown-up wants to be his friend, but he soon discovers his new pal is a borderline psychotic and he's also stalking his pretty older sister.
