from the walking dead posted in television by pete_nice

A sprawling 11.3 acre industrial site that dates back to the 1880's, Murrays Mill (also called the E. Van Winkle Gin and Machine Works) was a filming location for Episode 4, Season 1 of The Walking Dead. The survivors encounter a rival gang that has kidnapped Glenn, and this is where the heated confrontation occurs.

This location was also used in the 1993 film Kalifornia, where David Duchovny and Brad Pitt have an interaction in the west part of the acreage. The complex's water tower can be seen in several of the shots.

st. mary’s church in bampton

from downton abbey posted in television by pete_nice

Although the main exterior for the period drama Downton Abbey is Highclere Castle in Highclere Park, many of the village exterior shots (and church interiors) were filmed near The Church of St. Mary the Virgin (the parish church of Bampton in Oxfordshire).

The current structure was originally constructed in the 12th century, with the spire added in the mid-13th century, but there are records of a church being at this location as early as 1089.

Several walking scenes in the village have been shot near the church. The nearby library exterior has been used in a number of shots, including the arrival of the Matthew Crawley and his mother to the area.

If you look closely during the show, you can sometimes pick out the occasional tv antenna and double yellow lines on the road. If you don't have anything better to do, that is.
