The film “Revolution” (starring Natasha Kinski and Al Pacino) was filmed substantially in King’s Lynn, including filming some scenes in a school friends house. Awful film by the way. Anyway, with very few changes, apart from trying to hide the grain towers with fake warehouse facias built around them (with the towers still poking out of the top), KL in 1985 looked very similar to New York in 1776 apparently. What that says about the pace of development in Norfolk I will leave you to ponder.
In one scene I remember the stars travelling up river from the quay area for several hours, might have been days, to the edge of a battlefield; they ended up filming this in Castle Rising. a) there is no river in Castle Rising and b) if they had caught the 410 bus they would have been there in 20 minutes!
