First edition
For children growing up in Britain fifty or more years ago, streets and alleyways were playgrounds of curiosity and adventure. Nowadays, tempted by technology or restricted from being alone outside, playing out is no longer the norm. These images from ten leading street photographers — among them Shirley Baker, Roger Mayne, Henry Grant and Margaret Monck — form a joyful, nostalgic record of past freedoms.
