Playground, Queen’s Park By Humphrey Spender - September 1937

Theme » Leisure

Children play on the slide in the playground in Queen’s Park, Bolton.

Have you any memories, new information or corrections relating to this picture?

jeez! Look how high that slide is! Don’t I recall quite a large one in Moss Bank park when I was younger (90’s). Don’t get slides like that any more, they are now just 3 steps of the ground!

I remember climbing up the steps of that slide , the problem was that I had no head for heights even at age three and it was very very high! When it was my turn to go down , I just couldn`t do it and had to push my way past the long queue behind me. They were non too pleased at the “scaredy cat” and let me know it!

yes Moss bank park had a similar one in 1970s/80s but it was put into the side of a small hill
