Please do not disturb - we re making a liner. An ocean-going liner
Please do not disturb - we re making a liner. An ocean-going liner. Thats what they are making. A really super one made of bottle tops, tin lids, cotton reels, cake tins and any odds and ends of wood they can find. And if grown-ups think it won t work, do Colin and Keith Wympress care? Not they. They are as happy as kings at the new L.C.C. nursery in Hackney, where the children are given plenty of what children like - junk, nails and a few tools - and told to get on with it.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from March 1951, we are transported back to a time when children's creativity knew no bounds. The image showcases two young boys named Colin and Keith Wympress, who are engrossed in the construction of an extraordinary ocean-going liner at the L. C. C. nursery in Hackney. With sheer determination and resourcefulness, these imaginative youngsters have transformed everyday objects into remarkable components for their masterpiece. Bottle tops, tin lids, cotton reels, cake tins, and even odds and ends of wood have found new purpose under their skilled hands. Undeterred by any doubts or skepticism from adults around them, Colin and Keith remain undeniably content with their chosen endeavor. Their infectious joy radiates through the photograph as they revel in the freedom provided by this nurturing educational environment. The L. C. C. nursery understands that children thrive when given opportunities to explore and create on their own terms. Here, they are generously bestowed with treasures such as junk materials, nails, and a few essential tools – empowering them to unleash their boundless imaginations. This heartwarming snapshot serves as a reminder of the magic that childhood brings - where play is not just entertainment but also a vital part of learning and development. It encapsulates the spirit of youthful ingenuity while capturing a moment frozen in time during the vibrant 1950s era.
