Swinging back in history

Charles Wicksteed was an engineer by trade. He initially made swings and slides for his park, then went on to sell them around the world. In 1926 he made the first modern swing and installed it in a park in Kettering. This is a 12 feet high swing which was painted green with a wooden seat. It is still fully functional after more than 90 years.
