Now I have never been a fan of roundabouts.
So despite them making me feel ill, so many people like them that a new series has been born.
At first I was going to limit it to roundabouts, but I rather think it will be about all playground features, from the seesaw to the rocking horse and on to the slide and the swing.
All were popular in the 1950s and into the 60s.
This is one of those very simple roundabouts which were still there in the 1984 in Longford Park.
The photograph was taken by David Dunnico and I like it, not least because it offers up that promise that playgrounds and the apparatus are not just for the young.
So, if there are people with pictures, or stories of the Corporation Rec and the things they played on .... just post them over.
