Locations along the east coast of England had been scouted by Hodges and Klinger in the spring of 1970, to find a landscape that suggested a "hard, deprived background".<ref name="BBC-carter-march 2011"/> Newcastle was selected after Hodges's first choice of Hull proved to be unsuitable.<ref name="BBC-carter-march 2011"/><ref name=SC23/> Hodges thoroughly researched the local Newcastle crime scene, adapting the script to make use of settings and incorporating elements of his research into the story.<ref name=Jakubowski/> His background at ''World in Action'' had made him accustomed to making films based on hard investigation and this informed his approach to ''Get Carter''.<ref name=Klinger/><ref name="Williams-2006"/> One of the first locations which attracted Hodges's attention was the [[Trinity Square, Gateshead|Trinity Square]] multi-storey car park, which dominated the centre of [[Gateshead]]. To Hodges, the car park and the cast iron [[Newcastle upon Tyne#Water|bridges over the Tyne]], "seemed to capture the nature of Jack Carter himself".<ref name="Hodges-26-07-2010"/> The car park embodies one of the film's more subtle themes, which is the destruction of an old cityscape and its rebuilding in line with modern [[Brutalist architecture|Brutalism]].<ref name="Harris-03-03-2011">{{cite news |last=Harris |first=John |author-link=John Harris (critic) |title=Get Carter: In search of lost Tyne |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/mar/03/get-carter-40th-anniversary |url-status=live |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |date=3 March 2011 |access-date=27 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131104210352/http://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/mar/03/get-carter-40th-anniversary |archive-date=4 November 2013 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> Hodges described how wandering alone through the upper structure, he realised how the different levels could be used to reveal the hunter, Carter, and the hunted, Brumby, simultaneously but without either being aware of the other – adding to the suspense.<ref name="Hodges-26-07-2010"/> The shopping centre and car park were closed in early 2008 and demolished in late 2010.<ref name="26-06-2010">{{cite news|title=Demolition of Gateshead Get Carter car park starts|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-10759090|access-date=3 April 2012|publisher=BBC News|date=26 July 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319185431/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-10759090|archive-date=19 March 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

The location for Cyril Kinnear's house, Dryderdale Hall, near [[Hamsterley, Bishop Auckland]], provided a real-life connection with organised crime.<ref name="01-04-2010">{{cite news |title=''Get Carter'' mansion up for sale |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7325054.stm |access-date=3 April 2012 |publisher=BBC News |date=1 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081123070743/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7325054.stm |archive-date=23 November 2008 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all}}</ref> It was the recently vacated country house of [[North East England|North East]] [[Slot machine|fruit machine]] businessman Vince Landa, who had fled the country in 1969 after the murder of his right-hand man Angus Sibbett, the so-called [[one-armed bandit murder]].
