Clapham Common Memories

This is a selection of memories of my recent trip to Clapham Common with some friends in March 2009. It was a beautiful spring morning and i'd like to think Jeremy was with us in spirit !! :)

Most photographs and video footage belong to me. Music is from Chariots of Fire.

Please sign the petition if you can! We are petitioning for Jeremy Brett to be awarded the BAFTA (British Film and Television Award--equivalent of the U.S. Oscar and Emmy combined) posthumously. A team is working to make this happen.

We now have a website with all other relevant information:

Trolls and Flamers will be nuked and sent to the 7th ring of hell. You have been warned !!!

okay, maybe I'm wrong about the house... the one at 2:25 does look like his building.

never mind :)

Dont worry, i had a hard time finding it myself ! :)

great vid, was there myself in April. Only, I don't think this is his old house at 0:43... It's the top floor flat of the left corner house, but the one in the row of houses to the right of this row. You can tell because the row in the vid has got white decoration things at the tops of the windows and the row with JB's flat hasn't....

anyway, it's so nice to see that so many fans enjoy the same place where he probably spent many a happy afternoon in the sun.

I was very happy to see this video, because I have no opportunity to go to London . You've been my eyes...

[WirralBagpuss]

Nice video .I was in Clapham common there for a few minutes watching it .The music is so fitting too. Last time I was there for real was at a concert in the summer of 1987 ...

That's not Michael Horwood that lived in Taybridge Road, is it? If so, this is Robert (Bob) Ash - have lots of happy memories coming round to your house in the 50's, and when we were at Battersea Grammar School in the 60's!

I used to play on the common as a young boy. My parents had a house in Taybridge Rd and we used to watch the propeller driven planes coming over. Happy memories.

btw, I DID have a little picnic there in the park, and then I went to see a wonderful play at the Wyndham's Theatre afterwards. A great day!

[poppylv21]

I had a photo to guide me when I was there, but the two rows of houses do look very similar. JB's is the most left house of the right row (as seen when you're facing them from the park).

@ c3z712: I mean Jeremy Brett by "his", seems obvious doens't it?

[WirralBagpuss]

No idea what you mean. Please give more explanation of your question. if you are trolling i will nuke your post.
