Camping at Weeting

In the mid to late 1970s I was employed as a Residential Social Worker at a long-stay children and young person home in a south London borough. During my stay there I took many hundreds of photos of the youngsters in my care and of the activities in which we were involved.

 

Cooking at camp; don't know what modern regulations and risk assessment would make of this situation, frying at ground level, canvas just above the cooker, bare knees almost touching the stove, boy trapped behind the stove, it goes on - they were carefree days!
