Ray Wills writes a fascinating and often personal account in depth history of children’s play provision in the UK. Much of which is based on Ray’s own experiences working in the inner cities, new towns and rural communities over many decades. He writes of a time when child’s play was in its infancy, from the days when children were playing on bombed wastelands of the cities. He writes of the junk playgrounds of the post war years to the modern day supervised adventure playgrounds and play facilities. The book is packed throughout with accounts and recollections of those years, along with the people, places, campaigns, and events which shaped children’s play provision in the UK. Here are detailed histories and accounts from adults and children of those early adventure playgrounds, play centres and schemes, many of which are based on Ray’s own recollections and personal involvement at the time as a Play Worker and Play Organiser.
