Description: | Roger Mayne took this photo of three boys riding their homemade go-cart in 1950s North Kensington. Cheap carts were assembled from planks of wood, screws, ball bearings and string, and decorated to individual taste.
Children made the streets their playground. The writer Colin MacInnes, describing the streets of Notting Dale, wrote that 'kids live in the streets ... they have charge of them'.
Mayne photographed a number of children playing in Addison Place. He lived around the corner on Addison Avenue. His wife Ann Jellicoe observed, 'he photographed the childhood he had not had'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Roger Mayne | Subjects: | Leisure Cityscape Home and Family | Temporal: | 1956 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
