December Smog Of 1952.
A Memory of Wimbledon.
The Broadway Wimbledon was brought to a near halt in December 1952 for four days. The Gaumont cinema in the back of this photo had to close on the third day because of the smog in the auditorium. I lived in Craven Gardens and the smog was down to less of a metre in front of your face and you could not see your feet.

In 1970 I was diagnosed with C.O.P.D. so much for all the fun we had.
