Description
The Teds was a pivotal year for youth culture in the UK, marked by widespread riots and protests. In September 1956, the Bill Haley film Rock Around The Clock arrived in the country, sparking a wave of violence and disorder. This photograph book tells the story behind this phenomenon, combining images with text to explore the rise of the Teds as a central figure in British youth culture. The Teds were more than just a fashion trend - they represented a new kind of youthful rebellion that challenged traditional values. Through photographs taken over several decades, The Teds provides a unique insight into this period of British history, revealing the complexities and contradictions of a generation caught between tradition and modernity. Originally published in 1979, The Teds remains a powerful and thought-provoking book that continues to fascinate audiences today.
