Looking at these landscapes, you might think that the photo is of the Soviet Union. In fact, these are photographs of children from the town of Elswick in the English county of Lancashire, taken in the late 1970s by photographer Tish Murtha. Take a closer look at them and you will understand how much was common in childhood for everyone who had the opportunity to play in courtyards and on construction sites in the company of peers, without fear of the outside world and rejoicing in meeting it.
