Great Video. Well Done. I moved to Battersea in 1987. My mum still lives there. Near Battersea Bridge. God bless your dad.

What a great photo of the kids jumping off Battersea Bridge…I was born in 1952 and remember just walking around with about 9 or ten other boys wandering and climbing often carrying a stick..so,sad to,see no kids,out playing in the streets today

Very moving thank you for shearing.. I was a battersea boy in the 70s and knew many of the places in the video, in fact we moved into mantua st in the late 70s, we wasn’t there long and moved to Wandsworth bridge road. I remember the British flag pub and the haberdashery as I went to battersea county school in culvert road ❤️

Linda, thank you so much for posting this - I know it was some time ago that you did so! I so remember Maggie Brown's pie and mash shop. My aunt, Margaret Gurney was always in there. She loves pie and mash! If I remember rightly, it was closed down twice for health reasons - lol. I went to school with a kid called Paul Lye. Was he a relation? I seem to remember that Paul was working on the Big Dipper in the fun fair when they had the accident. I may be wrong!

Thank you. I know a lot of the Gurney family ... Georgina lived op us in Rowditch Lane also bros David John and Eddie, we didn't see my dad's family much but do have a cousin Paul Lye 😘

I was born in the Haberdashers in 67, my parents ran the pub from 63 to 73 so no doubt they would have known your father. great video
