Children are playing a ball game in a steep valley street, leading up to a Welsh chapel. Painted in about 1960, this work has an incredible poignancy in light of the 1966 Aberfan disaster, when a collapsed coal tip killed 116 children. Here, children play at the foot of the Chapel in the shadow of a looming tip – a precarious symbol of both community prosperity and unimaginable devastation.What street games do you remember playing as a child? How are things different today?
