For children growing up in Britain fifty or more years ago, streets and alleyways were playgrounds of curiosity and adventure.

These images from leading street photographers form a joyful, nostalgic record of past freedoms.
Includes work by 10 photographers: Shirley Baker, Tony Boxall, Robin Dale, John Gay, Henry Grant, Paul Kaye, David Lewis-Hodgson, Roger Mayne, Margaret Monck and Martin O'Neill.
With an introduction by Lucinda Gosling. This book is published in collaboration with Mary Evans Picture Library.
