Hunworth Ford This ford on the River Glaven was used in the 1970 Joseph Losey film 'The Go-Between'. The scene involved the return of the carriages to nearby Melton Constable Hall after a picnic party. The cricket match scene was also filmed nearby at Thornage. I confirmed the "credentials" of this ford with the family of the house adjacent who remembered the filming.
