Teddy Boys. Are You On Here?.

[Mister M 1,626]

It does look very familiar, I'm pretty sure it's a Sheffield street up Pitsmoor with the industry in the background.

Neepsend and Wincobank spring to mind..

I think its Neepsend . In the background, on the right next to the flats , Netherthorpe Rd ?

The guy in the middle is Jim Newark (died in 1988), he took over as editor of the New Rockpile magazine from Eddie Muir. I lent all my copies out and never got them back.  Jim helped set up the North East Rock'n'Roll Society, he lived near Gateshead, a place called Felling, I used to go there to visit the Akzo Nobel plant.

Looks like Neepsend in the back ground 

I thought that, but there were two gasholders there, another was on Effingham Rd S9. Also, if pic was taken from the west (Walkley area) the skyline would be top of Parkwood springs, which it isn't.

If pic was taken from the east (Parkwood) then the building on the left skyline could be Arts Tower,  the one to the right of pic could be hospital and one to  left of it, some flats? Image could have been reversed?

Update - I somehow missed Ted W's post, I thought the buildings and skyline didnt add-up for Sheffield.

I was never a Teddy , Slinney  was (still is at heart ) . My hero was Sinatra I copied his dress , Slinney was into Elvis and even today appears on stage doing a tribute act . 

I guess then you wouldn't have heard of "Cabbage" Green,  from Hartopp Ave? He would have been around your age.

 

Authentic Teddie.

Cuttsie, Slinney.

 

An image of teddy boys on a Sheffield street.

This was a popular dress code and hair style amongst this subculture in the 1950s. 

They were known as cheeky, Gangsta like youths that listened to rock N roll and RnB music but some just preferred the dress code.

The one 3rd from the right is not posing correctly...

He's got his hands in his pockets...
