Recognise these 1979 Melbourne filming locations

Recognise these 1979 Melbourne filming locations on Cop Shop. Bag snatch at an unknown shopping strip, unknown hospital possible Royal Melb? Roof top car park with an Ampol sign in the back ground, Prince Henry Hospital on St Kilda Rd and the Former Bourke Street-West Police Station that’s now Royal Melbourne Hotel.

Awesome 👏 show

[@danrobinson572]

You don’t use Instagram that much do you? It’s been awhile since the last post. Just wondering 💭

[@Havencheese]

The first scene is Strathalbyn St shops, looking towards High St East Kew. Near the Harp of Erin Hotel.

[@mrsgritoli1]

And the old Briqutte dispenser and Woodyard.

[@Havencheese]

Yep, that’s what made it stand out.

[@Robochop-vz3qm]

Back in the day where a wolf whistle was considered a compliment and people weren't all sensitive

[@davidhumphries853]

Lynda Stoner's twin peaks.

[@blofield1]

Gezza - Having grown up in Nth Balwyn - I'm pretty sure the shopping strip is at the Harp Hotel East Kew intersection(Harp Rd/High St). Looking south from Strathalbyn St. Looking towards Dunning and Sons Firewood/Wood pile. Which you can clearly see in the background here in '79. Unfortunately the yard is no longer there(closed in 2012) 😮‍💨 However on google maps in the 2007/2009 shot - you can still clearly see the yard and the red roofed roadside building that is in this Cop Shop scene. The red roofed building still survives today. The "Self Serve Briquettes" on the building inscription(yellow/black writing) is clearly visible in both the scene and the 2007-2019 google map shots.

100%

[@greebo7857]

Yep. Yard is now a car park, sadly. Love the old Tramways bus.

[@letsseeif]

spot on

[@huwrobertson9916]

yep,thats what i thought too

[@gusman37]

Wow ... the good old day's ... keep up the great work 👍

[@satos1]

Linda Stoner was a hottie back then. Mum met constable Roy as a civilian in Smith Street Collingwood. She said his personality was the same as in the show. Top bloke.

[@martinwhittenbury5517]

Main location of interest is Lynda Stoner's figure.....but anyway, great video once again !! You're a Champ !!

bag snatch was at southern end of Stathalbyn st East Kew

[@TheHighwayDreams]

Perv point haha 😂

[@NewFalconerRecords]

Ah, Slades soft drinks 0:34 based in Thomastown. Still going, though they don't deliver anymore. I was still getting Slades deliveries as recently as 2019. Whatever became of Swing, Loys and Gold Medal?

[@brendanengland8385]

Yes .in Footscray we had boon spa.

[@andyrob3259]

Remember in the 70’s going to a Slades warehouse where you could buy pick and mix. Always busy.

[@bloggaloggs]

@@brendanengland8385 I used to get Boon Spa. Been around since the 1800s and was still in business till at least the 1980s. What happened to it? It was only $4.70 for a dozen 750ml bottles!

[@hanajinks1044]

Yes, Slades bought back memories for me as wel...

[@satos1]

We used to get Loys home delivered back in the 70s 80s. My favourite was their creamy soda. Memories!

Interesting that in these clips of Cop Shop are 2 classic actors of 1960’s & 70’s cop shows. Leonard Teale and Gerald Kennedy.

[@falchoon]

XC Falcon Carpark is at 33 Bedford St North Melbourne. The building with the arches.

[@thatwasmymistake]

Think you're on the money there. Looking towards RMH and the Old Melbourne Motor Inn.

[@lesleywilliams1210]

One night I was watching Cop Shop, and they had a scene where they caught the suspect leaving my Grandma's block of flats in York St, St Kilda. Her flat and courtyard were on the street and to the right of the main entrance.

[@craigmartin5939]

The first scene is right out the front of what is now Vicky's Pizza!! Great pizza too!!!

[@richardfinlayson1524]

The Melbourne police station ,where that bomb went off in the eighties,I was in the city that day and heard the explosion

[@michaeledwards8058]

me too . I was in Footscray and the ground shook. I drove into Russel st. looked like a war zone

[@philhudson...5017]

back of Melbourne and mostly around middle park and back st of port Melbourne and also albert park as well, in fact i came home from school ( Albert Park High School )and they were filming cop shop in a lane way across the roads from the commission flats in Port Melbourne Florence lane st i believe? In fact got a signature from Paula Duncan as well, lol :) Used to live at 197 stoke st.

[@brendanengland8385]

Gee whiz Gezza .we must have had a similar upbringing.. more good memories.cheers

[@pwi428]

Carpark, near the Old Melbourne Hotel in Flemington Rd North Melbourne?

[@MickB52s]

Suburb of the older lady getting robbed looked like Newport

[@huwrobertson9916]

that looks like the end of the alfred hospital, the old nurses quarters above old "Dome" nightclub

[@BoxofficeForney6969]

Pretty sure the first hospital is the Heidelberg Repatriation.

[@helengregory9967]

Close, it's the Austin Hospital, these buildings were demolished about 15 years ago.

[@greebo7857]

Heidelberg Repat was on flat ground. This was the old part of the Austin on Burgundy Street. Grew up in Studley Road.

[@andyrob3259]

The hospital may be The Prince Alfred I think. Building what was the new wing in the 80’s and the old hospital before it? There’s still old bits behind the bee and there’s used to be an old building next to the current heli pad (well the old one) that was demolished recently for the expansion

[@lesleywilliams1210]

I agree, it looks like that spot at The Alfred Hospital. BTW the hospital in Sydney is the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, whereas Melbourne's is simply The Alfred Hospital (although both are named after the same Prince, Queen Victoria's second son).

[@pullformore]

No it's the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg. My brother was there, and is actually in the scene (in the blue t-shirt)

[@saxongreen78]

Ah...good old Perv Point!

East Kew, near the Harp. That small building across the street is still there, that's what makes it recognisable to me.

[@COLEY72]

@@Havencheese hmmm 🤔

[@dannymiller7880]

I know most of cop shop was filmed around South Melbourne and Albert Park area And I'm pretty sure the old police station what's next to the old Melbourne courthouse opposite the old Russell Street headquarters

[@patricknullo4196]

Pretty sure its the old City West Watch House at the bottom of Bourke St

[@bloggaloggs]

Ironic to hear Gregory Ross explain about lack of funding for hospitals knowing he later became an aspiring politician for the political party that loves to run down public healthcare.

[@rajivmurkejee7498]

Not much has changed -Victorian police are still interfering with people going about their business

[@marktiller1383]

Born se of Melbourne 1960, so I don't recognise any of this area. 1960 /70s Melbourne was the greatest place on the planet. Not not now with CCP/ WEF Dan Andrews, all these years and I'm thinking of moving away from the place I love.

[@peterharris4386]

My god, so amateurish, particularly the first scene.

[@hanajinks1044]

The acting is astonishingly bad

[@ozwasp]

So drab compared to the 80s
