Concrete Blocks and Minuscule Frocks: The Fifties and Sixties

After the restraint, austerity and fear of slaughter that marked the wartime years, you might have expected the Western world to immediately erupt into a frenzy of free love, drug taking and general anarchy. But first we had to deal with the 1950s, a period of repressed social conservatism. Words like “tradition”, “values” and “sensible shoes” chimed resonantly with the spirit of the decade, and materialist ambitions coupled with some thoroughly decent behaviour conjure up an anodyne picture of a family with 2.4 children, a nice house, a lovely car and perfectly coiffured hair.
