Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of this photographer so thanks for bringing her to my attention.
She has some wonderful work. I'm sure it will bring back some memories for those slightly older than myself.

I cannot imagine anyone taking photographs of someone else's children playing in the streets today.Great to see wonderful photographs of children having fun, they remind me of my own carefree childhood.

This, ultimately is the what real photography is about. I am glad that there were and are photographers able and willing to take these photographs: something that is quite beyond me!
I feel a visit to Manchester coming on.
Thanks for posting.
Mike

A lovely set of pictures which brings to the fore the non-allowance of taking similar pictures as easily as the ones shown.

Yes, it's such a shame that taking pictures of children has been almost criminalised by the actions of a perverted few.

Thanks for the link. Great pictures and what is shown is what was happening all over the country. London, Leeds Liverpool etc.

What a shock it was for me to learn that the father with his kids was wearing old fashioned clothes. I will not show this to the wife in case she then clears out my wardrobe.
