Queenie's Castle




What a find! Diana Dors was incredible playing these sort of sexy strong, near despotic women and was always quite an under-rated talent in the 1960s and 1970s.

The council housing seen in this series was the Quarry Hill estate in Leeds, famed for it's Art Deco 1930s appearance, which is sadly no more, pulled down probably a few years later on.

This site, funnily enough, now houses the West Yorkshire Playhouse, the Kremlin style offices of the Child Support Agency, and the BBC Yorkshire Headquarters.
