Bexhill Childhood Playground Roundabout 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment of pure joy and innocence from the 1920s in Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex, England. The image features two children, a girl in a white dress with a ribbon in her hair and a boy in a short-sleeved shirt and knickers, excitedly waiting at the top of a wooden playground slide with two women. The women, dressed in long skirts and hats, appear to be supervising the children's playtime. In the background, horses can be seen on a merry-go-round, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The year is 1928, and this image offers a glimpse into the past of English leisure activities for children during the 1920s. The wooden slide, a classic playground staple, is still a popular choice for children today, and the merry-go-round, with its gentle horses, continues to bring joy to young visitors at fairs and amusement parks. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of great social and cultural change. This image, however, shows that some things, like the simple pleasure of playing on a slide or a merry-go-round, remained constant. The children in the photograph, with their wide grins and carefree expressions, embody the spirit of childhood and the joy of play. This photograph is a precious reminder of the past, a time when life moved a little slower, and the simple pleasures of childhood were cherished. It invites us to reflect on the importance of play in our lives and the memories we create during our childhood years.
