Winspit Quarry
quarry on the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset, England
🇬🇧 United Kingdom · 50.5848, -2.0342
Winspit Quarry is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia article of 1 production — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“Several days of filming occurred in Cleveleys on the Fylde Coast of Lancashire in early May, with the town's promenade and beach area dressed as an alien location, later revealed to be the resort planet of Niamos followed by another several days filming in the disused Winspit quarry in Dorset.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Winspit Quarry as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Named here by Winspit Quarry’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Winspit Quarry, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
