Ramshackle Playground - a photo on Flickriver

            Taken in September 1973.

In addition to an ugly City of London car pound and a disused and overgrown cemetery, this ramshackle playground was situated down the slope from our London hotel, the London Park. It was walled- and fenced-in, the fence lined with barbed wire along one stretch. We passed it every day for a week or more and never once saw a kid in it or any sign that it was actually being used. Which is odd because it looks like the kind of place that was cobbled together by some sort of neighborhood group. In fact, I don't think we ever saw an entrance to it.
