14 WALTON STREET & BRIDGE

Walton Street in Port Hope is easily recognizable as downtown Derry. Many of the shops and restaurants were dressed to be Derry businesses, but you may still recognize many from the films.

The bridge over The Ganaraska River was where a great shot of the grown up Losers Club marching down the road was shot.

The set designers dressed the town to look like small town USA. The production designer honoured for his work on The Shape of Water with an Oscar, and his meticulous attention to detail was impressive to say the least! Street signs were dressed to reflect the names of streets in Derry and the cars parked along the roads were all vintage. The cars even had their own casting call!

FUN FACTS: The town was dressed so well, folks kept trying to buy newspapers from the Derry newspapers stands and mailing letters in the Derry post boxes!
