Description: | The Blue Spot radiogram was considered the best by the Caribbean community who moved to Britain in the 1950s and 1960s. The radio and record player provided a means of entertainment in the home, away from the racism often encountered in public bars and clubs. The 'Barcelona' model has a radio and record player with integrated drinks cabinet beneath for entertaining. It was capable of receiving radio signals from as far away as the Caribbean. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Hackney Museum | Rights holder: | Hackney Museum | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Communities Leisure | Temporal: | c.1950-1960 | Source: | Hackney Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
