Entry When Jimmy says, "That is Brighton, my sons." looking down a hill on a town supposed to be Brighton, that is actually Hove and Shoreham, the road being Ditcling Road. The reason Brighton can't be seen is because the hill is in the way. Since this scene was shot a new part of the A27/M27 has been built through this hill. [They're actually overlooking Eastbourne (most likely from the A259), about 12 miles further along the coast. For the hill to block the view of Brighton, Brighton and Hove would need to have their locations reversed.]
Entry Early in the film they go to a scrap yard to see a friend to buy drugs - the cars in that scrap yard are models that were new or not even launched in 1964.  One car springs to mind the Austin/Morris 1100 that features in quite a few of the shots; although it may have found its way to a scrap yard following an accident the one in the shot has clearly aged - the model was only launched in 1962!  (Mind you, it was a notorious rust bucket!) [The 1100 in the scrapyard is a two door model, which didn't start production until 1967.]
