THE Swinging 60s might have been a decade famous for beat groups and fashion, but the children here were blissfully unaware of it all.

Pictures:

Top - A lick of paint: These children were apparently painting in jam at the Little Hulton day nursery in December, 1964.

Bottom - Lamb's dinner: Children from Grosvenor Nursery School, Kearsley, took their duties seriously when they fed this lamb at Top o'th' Hill Farm, Rivington, in March, 1966.
