Mister M Â Â 1,609 #3 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) You could use a pop art collage using images of the subject matter from that period. It would be eye catching and capture what you are writing about. Or something by a local artist e.g. Pete McKee Edited June 8, 2019 by Mister M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Person6   10 #5 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Look up Mick Jones in the Park Hill flats group on Facebook. He has a bunch of photographs that he took in the sixties that haven't yet been published elsewhere but people are latching on to them so get in now. There's some really good stuff amongst them.

Mad_Mick   10 #6 Posted June 10, 2019 Hi Julie, I've got loads all taken by me in the '60s. All black and white. A few (11) are about to be published in a new book, but I have lots more like the person above states I'm Mick Jones.

Schoolgirls?  Steelworks, buses?  the co-op?  Any ideas?  Cheers Take care if you search online for such photos. I was helping my elder son on his school project on education, how schools came to be, what they were like etc. We decided to put in some historical photos and had no difficult finding suitable old photos of public school boys and the like but not so good on the school girls...... and so we tried something like "school girls in uniform" and it came up with a lot of links that I had to dissuade him from following! Ooops. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
