EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the carefree spirit of childhood in the 1960s, as two young girls play on planks of wood in a quiet Balham street in South West London. Dressed in simple, practical clothes, the girls balance on the planks with ease, using a towel as a makeshift seat. A washing line stretches across the alleyway behind them, with clothes drying in the sun, adding to the sense of domesticity and routine. A bicycle leans against the brick wall, suggesting that the girls have come from nearby houses to enjoy a break from their chores. The scene is one of simple pleasures and innocent fun, a glimpse into the everyday life of children growing up in the 1960s. The brick houses and narrow alleyway are typical of the architecture and layout of urban streets in the area, adding to the historical context of the image. This photograph is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring appeal of childhood memories.
