Here are two photographs taken from the Boston Standard archives, separated by a quarter-of-a-century.

One shows a new play area in Frampton, the other pupils from two of the town’s schools.

A new play area featuring a futuristic-looking piece of equipment opened in Frampton 50 years ago. The Moonprobe climbing frame was joined by a slide, swings and a ‘whirling’ platform in the gardens of the village’s old school. The area had been bought by Frampton United Charities and was officially opened by the group’s chairman, Rex Barber.
