First photos - 70 Things for 70 Years

Do you recognise any of these items? Do they spark a memory? Can you name the decade?

As a school, we are marking the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a special whole school community project – a photographic exhibition of 70 Things for 70 Years. Our pupils, parents and staff are currently researching history, family history and objects from across the decades (1952 – 2022) and sending in pictures from each decade and they are fabulous!

Your photo could be anything iconic from the allocated decade (see below): a household item, beauty product, concert ticket, something from the dressing up box, a toy or board game, a photo of a special occasion (holiday, birthday, wedding etc), a work of art or music, fashion item, a film or TV star – anything from the past which jogs a memory.
