  1. I am almost certain that Peter Grant's fantasy sequence in the "Song Remains the Same" was not filmed at Horselunges Manor at all. In the early 70's the band purchased Hammerwood House in East Grinstead in Sussex (I live nearby). Grant's idea was to transform it into a studio similar to Headley Grange, frequently used by the band. They soon discovered that the house was so full of dry rot that it pretty much stood around and did nothing and band allegedly forgot that they owned it! I think it was sold in 1982. show's a bit of information about the property. This is an exert from Wikipedia in relation to the movie. Grant and Cole were filmed as hitmen driving towards Hammerwood Park estate in Sussex in a 1928 Pierce-Arrow car. Roy Harper also makes an uncredited guest appearance as one of the 'greedy millionaires' portrayed at a business meeting of multi-national corporations. Massot envisioned Grant and Cole in the hitman roles, as it symbolised the tough business decisions they made on behalf of the band. The female passenger wearing a scarf with Peter Grant driving on a country road is his wife, Gloria. Massot had originally shot Grant walking a cameraman around a collection of antique cars, but this footage was quickly abandoned.... Despite me saying all this, I will admit that the house in the movie does indeed look more like Horselunges!
