    Mum & kids look down from the balcony of their new highrise in Shoreditch at the old community waiting for the bulldozer , soon to be just a Cockney memory.

    If one child falls, splat.
    Wow.

    Footnote - I worked for a national playground company for several years, designing & installing. I can tell you that picture above is downright scary.

    We never had anything like that. As a 7 year old me and my mates used to play on building sites. Seriously.

    As kids we used to play on bomb sites which seemed to be everywhere locally. Most of them were not fenced off and often had old prams dumped which we used to take away and make into go carts with old orange boxes we'd find in Brixton Market. My first bike was put together using parts from a couple of old bikes found on such sites, I bought the wheels and gears from the local bike shop but the rest was made from cannibalised bits found dumped.

    We certainly learned a lot of 'skills' from being able to do our own thing, it'd never happen these days like many things from our childhood...

    Happy days. I used to get the boat to / from work from Discovery Bay to Chek Lap Kok every day and sail under the Tsing Ma bridge whilst it was being constructed. '96 / '97 if my memory serves me right
