	Undated (1950s-1960s?)
	Series
	These photographs had been accumulated by Lady Allen with a view to illustrating her various works on play facilities and as deposited were in no particular order. Obvious groups have been recreated (by issuing authority, location, photographer or designer), even so, a large group of miscellaneous photographs [MSS.121/AP/12/39] remains, which are either unidentified or include two or three photographs with the same credits.
