In November 1974 I was sent to photograph Bath Place Community Venture in Leamington Spa for an article in the weekly student newspaper The Warwick Boar which reported;
"After much hard work by everyone concerned, Bath Place Community Venture is now in its seventh month and is flourishing. It aims to provide a creative environment and a focal point for people in Leamington.”
I turned up, completely unannounced, and with no background information walked into the adventure playground and just started taking photographs. This was the 1970s; the kids were more than flattered to have their photograph taken.
