EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in February 1989, this nostalgic print showcases the unveiling of the brand-new playground at Lostwithiel Community Centre, nestled within the picturesque town of Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image features a group of enthusiastic children from Lostwithiel Playgroup joyfully exploring the innovative wooden playground for the very first time. Their laughter and excitement fill the air as they swing on swings, climb up ladders, and slide down slides. A few days after this snapshot was taken, an ingenious addition transformed this play area into an all-weather haven by covering its surface with wood chippings. This thoughtful upgrade ensured that come rain or shine, children could continue to enjoy endless hours of fun and adventure in their beloved community center's playground. The photograph was skillfully captured by Jonathan Barker, who expertly immortalized this significant moment in Lostwithiel's history. In the background stands King George VI Playing Field and a prominent landmark known as Milk Factory Tower—both iconic symbols deeply rooted in Cornish heritage. This remarkable print is now part of Royal Cornwall Museum's collection—a testament to not only childhood memories but also to the importance of communal spaces that foster creativity, friendship, and boundless imagination.
