The Original Sun Hill Station (S1&2)
For fans of the old London/curious as to how the area round the old Sun Hill station in Wapping (Pennington street/Artichoke Hill) looked in 1985, Hostage (02x05) had this rather nice little view from Roy as he drove in.
These two below are the cobbles at the back of the old station on Pennington Street (both directions) that the 'walking feet' credits were filmed walking along. This is how they looked in 2008 (the furthest back that Google Maps go)
At the end of this series (series 2) the station then moved to Kensington.
It's round about now I start to wish I'd started a stand-alone TB Tumblr... (as I bet those who follow me who don't watch The Bill do too 😂 eta: have just started a new personal blog @omfgshiny and this is now dedicated to The Bill. Feel free to unfollow if you're not interested in The Bill posts.)

The Bill is such an underrated episode! What's not to love when it's got Philip fucking Glenister in it???
