Named here by Knutsford’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Knutsford, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it.

Patton 1970

“Scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of Knutsford Town Hall.” Wikipedia
Empire of the Sun 1987
