Inadvertently came across these four short films from the sixties. The blurb says

Final showing 23rd August 1973

Caroline Mortimer (Young Woman)
Alice Bowes (Auntie)
Sandra Leo (Little girl)
Anthony James ( Healey Driver)
Frank Sieman (Garage Owner).

Featured in the film is Blackwell Cottage, Cambridge Road West, Farnborough. The house remains, although the garage has been replaced by a detached house. The house where the little girl lived, is still there.
As well as Farnborough, parts of the film was made in Bucks Horn Oak, Hampshire and the closing country lane shots were taken in Seale, Surrey
The BP filling station was Bucks Horn Oak ,
