The aim of our project is to study the star-formation history in open clusters and field stars in two regions on either side of the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In a forthcoming paper we shall describe the observations and the characteristics of the clusters. Here, we summarise the results of the BV photometry of three of the cluster fields: LW 55 (4h46.m6, −73°30'), HS 96 (5h03.m4, −65°57') and SL 196 (5h03.m6, −65°54', epoch 1950). They were all observed with an RCA CCD at the 2.2-m telescope at La Silla.
