Battersea Park
This collection features retro colour photos of Battersea Park from the 1950s to the 1970s, documenting one of London’s most vibrant riverside spaces during the latter half of the 20th century. A primary highlight of this archive is the rare colour photography of the Festival of Britain in 1951, showing the park transformed into the Festival Pleasure Gardens.
