 Local government gave permission for a bandstand to be erected and  for a shipwreck to be paced on the beach for authenticity. A number  of houses along the beach front were painted to suite the era. The  cinema, which looked the part already, merely had an advertisement  painted on the side of the building to complete the set dressing.  Everything was undone after filming was complete and Redcar seafront  now looks like a normal seaside town again.
