@@suzanneaylieff-phillips2822 thank you I will
Rather amazingly found a short clip of myself, my brother and younger sister on this film
Great memories 👌 worked in the adventure playground in the 1980s and went to the fun fair with my mum the old battersea people were the best smashing people !
I worked at weekend and the summer holidays in the candy floss kiosk when I was 13 there wasn't any health and safety rules then we used to make boiling hot toffee but we loved it and was a great part of my youth I'm 72 now but still remember it with such affection
At 12 years old in 1972, I remember going to Battersea Fun Fair and being on the Roller Coaster 3 weeks before the tragic accident that killed five children. 😢
What lovely clips . This park played a huge part of my childhood and filled it with wonderful memories . Thanks for sharing .
bobbysimmo Same here! I lived in Battersea up to late 1976 and loved this place. Early style theme park-ish look for the period. Never rode the ill-fated Big Dipper which I’m sure my late Mum used to say was unsafe. Interesting to note operators standing up on the Flying Saucer back then. Was a magical place back then.
The first two fair ground attractions I ever went on was at Battersea park , the Helter Skelter , on the Coconut (ouch yer bum) mats with my Dad , then onto the Dive Bomber with him . About half hour later , the roller Coaster slipped off the rail and stopped at the top of the ride with my cousin on it and the workers had to go up and walk her and everyone down , while my Aunt had a melt down 😅
A trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing. Many hours of fun spent here.
Lovely film. The tune was nice too.
OMG this brings back so many memories of a simpler childhood. Thank you so much!!!!
It cost a tanner to get in so we used to bunk in through the exit gate.
I lived on the old East Hill Estate Wandsworth, have memories of going to Battersea Fun Fair and the park itself, enjoyed watching this video
wow great memories back in the sixties with my friend Diana sadly no longer with us spent most weekends in battersea park then walk from there all the way to get home to grovernor terrace x hillingdon street will always remember x miss ya Diana xxx
I went as a kid ,those cars are the same they had at Littlehampton where we went on holiday speedway cars I think.
Great historic footage. Thank you whoever filmed this and uploaded it.
I can't remember much about my time there apart from the Tree Walk and the Water Chute ride
I was there is 1951- The Festival of Britain. My Mother took me there for a holiday. I was just eight, but the memories came flooding back. Thank you...

@@rosehawkins4012 Rose I've only just seen this, was your dad Charlie?
I remember the Battersea Pk. funfair as a kid in the early 60s.I returned about 1980 and was surprised the funfair had gone....Somebody walking by told me it had closed in 1974, I believe.Such a shame and such a big loss.
TheUncleBilly because of fatalities
Because of a decline after the 1972 accident on the Big Dipper causing 5 deaths.
The Big Dipper rollercoaster rolled back and crashed, killing 5 children.
I worked there until 74.
Sad they had to close it. It was mad busy at times.

Happy memories. 💖😊
I thought that the Tree Walk was a great idea.
I suppose that H&E would insist it was in a rubber lined concrete tunnel, if it was re installed?
There is something about the Pagoda that jars!
I loved the tree walk as a young kid in the early 60s. My Dad didn't like the heights, but my Mum took me along the tree walk.
I just showed my granddaughter and she wants to go there so sad it’s no longer there
I remember getting free rides on the dive bomber it was great.
Brings back memories!
I bet quite a few of them rides ended up in Dreamland Margate, or even at Southend Kursaal. I know the old Crazy Cottage is down at the the Dymchurch family amusement park.
Is it? I've just grinned like a cheshire cat at the Crazy Cottage - so many memories!
Was there a lot when I was younger good old days
@@terrypenfold4350 did any of your family live in Livingston road by chance
i went to that crooked house in dymchurch about 10 years ago its was nice to see it survived

Quite poignant, when you know what happened there.
was that the fair ground they used on journey to the unknown intro? does anyone know please
oh by the way thank you for sharing that video with us, enjoyed it.
Yes it was from 1968, Hammer/Fox....
rar321blue I loved the eerie musical intro shot via the park turnstile entrance past the Dive Bomber. (This was my local playground in the late 60s/early 70s). Used to be advertised on the buses each Spring with “Playground of the South” posters.
Martin Porter. Thank you
Good times
Anyone know this tune pleass
ITS UN FAIR not FUN FAIR!
