Pinewood Film Studios
In 1934 Charles Boot had undertaken to construct a new film studio in the village of Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire. His location was set among the Pine trees on the estate grounds of a mansion called Heatherden Hall that Charles Boot had recently bought at auction. The complex was named Pinewood Film Studios and it was completed within a year. By 1935 Charles Boot had approached British National about taking over ownership and management of the new studios and a contract was entered into. John Corfield eventually resigned from the board of Pinewood Film Studios and Lady Yule sold her shares to J. Arthur Rank.
