Description: | These people are riding on roundabout swings on Hampstead Heath during the funfair. There was a weekly funfair, as well as a more famous fair on bank holidays, that operated into the 1960s.
Hampstead Heath, an hour's ride by omnibus from the Bank of England in the 1920s, was a relatively wild corner of north London. It was overgrown with brambles and dotted with pools in sandy hollows left where red and silver sand, much in demand in the late 19th century, had been excavated. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment Leisure | Temporal: | 06 Aug 1928 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Topical Press | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
