Description

After finishing university in Newcastle in 1970, Chris Steele-Perkins moved to London as a freelance photographer and spent the following years working mainly in Britain in areas concerned with urban poverty and subcultures. Steele-Perkins, along with writer Richard Smith, were commissioned by New Society magazine to cover the second wave of the Teds for a story, which grew into a self-motivated study of the British youth movement over several years in the 1970s. In the 1950s a new youth culture emerged in Britain: working class youngsters adopting the formal and flamboyant tailoring of Edwardian dress. Some 20 years later, a second wave of young people began aping the style, music culture and attitudes of their Ted forebears. Pictured here, inside the Castle pub in london, 1976.
