Fabulous video, Linda - thank you. It brought back so many memories. Particularly of Kings Road. Me and my mates used to walk along there in the evenings then, like you, we would just walk across Albert or Battersea Bridge home. We too would go to the Bird's Nest sometimes!

What a great set of photos Linda..I’m probably the same age ..great times in the 60s and 70s..thanks

Wow just found this, so many memories i did'nt know I had, born in 1954 home was St Johns Hill, went to Plough Road infants and even sat on Arding and Hobbs santa's knee, special treats to Battersea park, tonsils out at Bollingbrook (lashings of ice cream). I believe my parents married at St Peters, saturday morning pictures at the Granada (Yeah Zorro) went on to junior school in Tooting and the Elliott on Putney Heath. Worked in my Grandads shop on Fulham Broadway till i joined the Royal Navy in 71 then never returned to London to live. Now in Weymouth. Very lovely video.

Hi Linda, have been watching all your videos of Battersea. Thank you soo much, brought back soo many memories, Joseph triton OMG, that was my primary. We lived Holgate, then winstanley, fowler close right by St Peters. Haha and sister lived in Harbut Road.Cant wait to show my parents your videos. Hoping they will recognise some faces, as I'm far too young. Thanks again.

What a beautiful and very touching collection of memories.

Linda I watched a programme that was filmed inside the town hall where you and I would of gone dancing you should see how they've destroyed it all the walls have had all the plaster knocked off so it looks like a building site it's heartbreaking when I think of what a beautiful building it was memories of Thursday night's dancing and all the junction boys just standing around boys didn't dance in those days only to the slow ones I

What a lovely video, very moving.

Watched the video again we went to the cafe in the park during the pandemic when we were allowed out I got talking to people who had only lived in Battersea a short while they were really shocked that the green near the cafe used to have deer roaming in the enclosure sad that the children's swing park has gone

I lived in Battersea from 1964 to 1979. In 1970 we moved onto the Doddington estate, and my first job was at Davies, Turner in 1971 as a messenger/office boy. I used to go in to see the girls in the telephone room quite often so it's quite possible we would have known each other. I had a crush on one girl, Maureen, but as very shy 15 year old I never did anything about it. I also used to drink in the Eagle in Chatham Rd and was on nodding terms with Georgie Coco and the others. Great videos of Battersea.
