    Only just found your channel such amazing work. Memories flooding back born and brought up in Battersea I was actually born No 28 Taybridge road in 1971 and we moved to Garfield road only a stones throw just up from the community centre across the road from the Beaufoy arms on lavender hill. Big family so we were lucky to be in a council house. Like more or less everyone I remember had to move away simply could not afford to live there come the 90s boom and bust period.

    Thanks for the video. We were one of the first families to move on to Surrey lane. My mum & dad still live in mansel court. For nearly 50 years now. I loved growing up in battersea. Best days of my life, battersea park, battersea boy club.

    Thank you Linda for this video. I grew up on York Road Estate in the 70's and 80's and i love seeing how Battersea looked back in the old days. All the pictures of all the old pubs and roads that no longer exist. Battersea will always be home. Thanks Linda 😉

    Absolutely amazing pictures ❤️. I was a 60s child bought up in battersea in the 70s, I went to latchmere infants school and then on to battersea county on culvert road.. the photos bought back some great memories. I moved away from battersea in the early eighties, but have very fond memories of there❤️

    Lovely. Lived many years in SW11. Moved up the road to SW18 now. Latchmere Baths looks nice. I guess they tore it down and it's now the modern Latchmere Leisure Centre. Oh well.

    Home. Simple as that. I'll probably never be back walking those streets again but Battersea will always be my real HOME.

    Yet another marvellous video. I've shed a tear this afternoon looking at such nostalgia. I was brought up in Westbridge Road, opposite The Stag pub, with The Farnborough Arms on the next corner. My happiest days were spent in Battersea Funfair - always a special treat on a birthday - a wander on the Tree Walk, a visit to the Devil's Grotto and course, gazing in wonder at The Guinness Clock. Such lovely innocent times.

    I Remember going into Boilingbroke Hospital Xmas 1972 . I was 5yo & Appendix needing to be Removed . I remember Santa Claus turning up & Mince & Mash ♥ . Latchmere Baths same time 5p to enter . The Staff would hand You a Coloured Band to wear . When that coloured Band was called You would have to leave . I remember getting a white band & just putting my big toe in the water & getting the call to leave . I went to the koisk to explain . But No . Rules are Rules 😯 . My Family lived on Sabine Road just off Latchmere Rd near the Fox & Hounds . Fond Memories of Community Spirit & Humour ♥♥♥ ..

    When I was a toddler, my dad used to take me to the fair that used to be in Battersea Park in the early 70s.
