I'm very excited to share the front cover of Designed for Play, my book on the social and environmental history of the playground, due out in July with University of London Press. It will be free to read online! #playgroundhistories

I was excited to find another Jo(h)n Winder in the archive, but sad to hear his bike was stolen while he was swimming in St Pancras baths...

It's lovely to see everyone here - and the wintery blue sky out of the window this morning. Canterbury is looking good in the sunshine. Looking forward to sharing social, environmental and childhood history stuff in due course...
