ABSTRACT This article gives a broad assessment of a selection of photographs taken in the early 1970s of children on a post-Second-World-War British council estate in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. As one of the cornerstones of postwar social reconstruction in Britain, the provision and design of new public housing often had the well-being of the future citizen – the child – in mind, and the photography of these estates at the time often included children as a way to promote a sense of well-being and community. This article offers a reading of these photographs as a representation of the child’s day-to-day life in this particular environment, and to present an understanding of how the planning and layout of the estate was intended to function as a crucial influence on the development of the children who lived there.

“儿童大游乐场”：对 1970 年代在二战后英国文化协会庄园闲逛的儿童照片的背景评估

摘要 本文对 1970 年代初期在林肯郡盖恩斯伯勒的二战后英国议会庄园拍摄的儿童照片进行了广泛评估。作为英国战后社会重建的基石之一，新公共住房的提供和设计往往考虑到未来公民——孩子——的福祉，而当时这些庄园的摄影往往将儿童作为一种促进幸福感和社区感的方式。这篇文章提供了对这些照片的解读，作为孩子在这种特定环境中的日常生活的表现，并展示了对遗产规划和布局如何作为对发展的关键影响的理解住在那里的孩子们。
