Youth Culture History

Rocker’s jacket circa 1964 with MARGATE on the back.

A pair of my pictures from my Cachet set that was on show at Turner Contemporary as part of the Nothing in the World But Youth show. This is rocker Ian Blyth in his teens and again on Whitsun bank holiday in 2011 on Margate seafront. All subjects were photographed in a spot in Margate that meant something to them in their youth or means something now. This shot is taken outside an amusement arcade.
