Skinhead photos
May 30th 2007 01:58
There can be no denying the great influence skinheads had and still have on reggae, and if you are interested in that connection, then you might enjoy the following website.
It is perhaps the largest archive of skinhead photos from the seventies and eighties.
London Skinheads 1970s and 80s group
The photos are mostly of London skinheads from this period as the website's title suggest, but there are also current photos and photos from further afield. There is some great iconic photography in here, as well as some great characters. Some of those in the pictures look like real crazy tough folk, as no doubt there was that element. It is also interesting seeing the very territorial nature of the skins - many of the titles giving away what part of London the skins were from. Just how young some of the guys and girls were is interesting too.
Well worth a look.

I'm inspired now to look a little harder.

As I was only a young teen for much of that time I used to hide all of my photographs from my parents, so they wouldn't see images of me in compromising situations. Obviously, I have hid them too well. As a parent myself now I'm not sure if I'd like to see images of my daughter with a long neck sitting on the lap of an adult male skinhead! I know there's not as many images of Boot Girls/ Rude Girls as there are of the guys, so if I find anything I'll let you know.
