It was the last day of the Charlton and Woolwich Free Film Festival at the weekend.

A film with a local connection was shown this weekend.  Blow Up, shot in Maryon Park, is about a London photographer who finds something very suspicious in the shots he has taken of a mysterious beauty in a desolate park.

Iris and Wendy were among those in the park this weekend seeing if much had changed between when the film was shot in the 60s and the park present day.
