Middleton Bridge, Middleton, Cumbria, UK – Poirot, Double Sin (1990) - Movie Locations on Waymarking.com

Poirot decides to take a holiday at the seaside, accompanied by Captain Hastings. Poirot’s actual motive for the holiday is to secretly listen to a talk given by Chief Inspector Japp nearby. Whilst on holiday Poirot and Hastings take a trip to the Lake District. On the coach to the Lake District they befriend a young woman taking some valuable miniatures for sale. At their destination the young woman discovers the miniatures have been stolen. Poirot doesn’t want to get involved, so Hastings decides to investigate. Hastings gets hold of the wrong end of the stick and mistakenly pursues a man eloping with a famous authoress. Eventually Poirot steps in and proves that the robbery was faked in order to sell the miniatures and to retrieve them as stolen.

Captain Hastings, in a Police car, wrongly pursues the authoress on her elopement. Hastings is blocked by a truck, which he undertakes on this bridge. The overall car chase sequence is in four parts:- the chase starts at a location, as yet unfound, the cars then race over Middleton Bridge (this waymark), after Middleton Bridge the cars leave the main road at Jordans Lane (WMCE82), and finally the car crashes at Holme Open Farm (WMCE8C). Whilst the sequence makes sense on film, it does not on the ground. At Jordans Lane the cars are heading North, whilst at Middleton Bridge they are travelling South. Just to make it more impossible Middleton Bridge is North of Jordans Lane.
