Photography — 1954
Ice on Whitestone Pond, Hampstead, 1954
Skaters on Whitestone Pond, Hampstead Heath in January 1954. Whitestone pond (originally known as Horse Pond) was originally a small dew pond, which was enlarged and filled with water to provide refreshment for military horses in 1890. The pond is located at the one of the highest points in London. As can be seen in the photograph you didn't need a proper pair of skates to enjoy the icy conditions of the pond, many people slipped and slid in their shoes.
