«When I Were a Lad... Snapshots from a Time that Health and Safety Forgot» is a hardback photography book by Andrew Davies, published by Anova Books.
The book collects photographs from the 1930s to the 1960s showing childhood scenes from a bygone era, before safety regulations restricted so many activities. Children appear on machinery, with zoo animals, or in situations that today seem reckless, with humorous captions celebrating those years without regulated risks.
The 2010 edition, in English, was originally published in 2009 and appears in the history and photography categories.
For those who grew up in past decades or enjoy nostalgic humour about a childhood without today's safety measures.
Andrew Wynford Davies is a Welsh screenwriter and novelist, best known for his television adaptations of To Serve Them All My Days, House of Cards, Middlemarch, Pride and Prejudice, Bleak House, Mr Selfridge, War & Peace, and Les Misérables, and his original serial A Very Peculiar Practice. He was made a BAFTA Fellow in 2002.
