Our oral history film of life on and around Wandsworth Common from the 1930s to the 1980s.

Launched on June 6, 2023 as part of the Wandsworth Heritage Festival

The film was produced from interviews with lifelong residents of the Common, by a team led by Ros Page. The film explores the interviewees life and experiences and how the Common used to be. The interviews were all filmed by John Crossland and the more than 20 hours of footage beautifully and sensitively edited down into this ‘charming and engaging’ film by Rosa Navas, a local film maker and Friend. Running time just under one hour.

The film is interspersed with old images and film clips, bringing alive the narrative of the interviewees. The result is a fascinating insight into how life on Wandsworth Common has changed over five decades.
