EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Reg on July 6th, 1968, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Birmingham. The image showcases a group of spirited teenagers proudly holding brooms and standing beside a government rubbish cart. Their youthful faces radiate determination as they advocate for a cleaner Britain. Amidst the backdrop of New Street, these young campaigners embody the spirit of social awareness and activism that defined the 1960s. With their eye-catching placards reading "Teenagers say Keep Britain Tidy" they boldly take up arms against littering and strive to make a difference in their community. The photo captures an important moment in history when youth voices were rising to prominence, demanding change from those in power. These girls exemplify the power of unity as they stand shoulder-to-shoulder with street cleaners who tirelessly work to maintain cleanliness in our cities. Reg's lens immortalizes not only this specific event but also serves as a reminder that even small actions can have far-reaching impacts. This snapshot encapsulates the essence of campaigns aimed at raising public awareness about environmental issues during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Memory Lane Prints, it prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since then while inspiring us to continue fighting for a cleaner future – one where everyone takes responsibility for keeping our streets tidy.
