Peter Pans Pool vintage video footage, Southend Village, Catford. Why was that name chosen? 🎁 It was named after Scottish novalist Sir James Matthew Barrie’s creation Peter Pan, the very first attraction in the world to do so. That name was chosen for good reason. JM Barrie had gifted copyright of his entire Peter Pan series of books to Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital London in 1929. Something that has benefited the hospital, and therefore children, from that day to this. Credit: Britis
