I was thirteen.

A teenager at last. I could get my hair cut at a 'Hair Dressers' instead of a barber. Dressed to kill, I had my first real girl friend and I grew my first sideburns. I was the biz.

Teddy Boys

Teds ready for bovver.

 

 

No Room At The Inn

Plenty of rooms to let, but the sign says 'No Coloureds'.

 

 

 

Stop And Search

Police 'Stop and Search' 58 style. Nothing has changed.

 

Racial Hatered

Hate was every where. It did not matter who, as long as you can hate.
