Description: | For a serious 'mod' in the Sixties, the must-have fashion accessory was the scooter. The models to own were the Italian-made Vespa or Lambretta.
This photo was taken in a year that saw running battles between mods and rockers. Many of these occurred in seaside towns near London such as Clacton, Margate and Brighton.
Terry Spencer photographed this group of mods as they turned from Upper Richmond Road. Spencer worked for Life Magazine photographing youth culture during the 1960s. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Terrence Spencer | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1964 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
