Looks like your alternator is not charging. Could be brushes, rectifier, broken fan belt, faulty feed to the field coil. Of course knowing the car may help a bit too.

If you are the Chris in Addlestone, you could get Roy Auto Electrics in Hetherington Road, Shepperton (01932 770136) to look at it. I have found them very good in the past.
