Key learning points
- Looking at photographs of Britain from the 1960s and 1970s can tell us about things that have changed.
- Photographs can tell us a lot about what people wore and the fashion during the 1960s and 1970s.
- A 1960s photograph of children playing outside their homes can tell us a lot about childhood in the 1960s.
- Photographs of protests can show us how some people were not treated fairly in the 1960s and 1970s.
Common misconception
That photographs are the only way to find out about the 1960s and 1970s.
Explain that photographs are one source that historians can use. They also look at written evidence such as newspaper articles and diaries. They can talk to people who were alive in the 1960s and 1970s and look at artefacts.
