Happy Bench Monday! - a photo on Flickriver

            This bench was designed for the 1951 Festival of Britain in Battersea Park. It formed part of the Pleasure Gardens, alongside a huge fun fair.
Sadly the fun fair closed in the early 1970's, after an accident on the roller coaster caused a number of fatalities!
A lot of the Pleasure Gardens still survive? And these benches have lasted well? They probably look better than I will at 72 years old?
