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. Now in Cornwall what a change will have to pop back some day and walk around Battersea 👍

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 😉

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. Just thinking of it I suddenly got a craving for a light and bitter now!

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 ♥♥♥ ..
