John Lennon movie filmed in Blackpool

A Blackpool tea shop on Trafalgar Road was transformed yesterday into a 1940s "caff" to act as the perfect seaside backdrop in Nowhere Boy the new biopic of the early life of John Lennon. In a true-to-life scene a schoolboy Lennon has to choose between his estranged parents Alfred and Julia, played by Shameless star Duff.
