Remembering the 50s

Nostalgic microphone based on a 1950s Shure design.

 

The 50s were a time of postwar austerity, rationing, bad films and even worse TV.

 

Central heating wasn’t generally installed in the majority of houses, toilets were outside and freezing...however the double yellow line hadn’t been invented, publicans would say ‘one for the road sir’, bobbies were on the beat, the birch and the death penalty were used to keep the population in check and National Service was still around.

 

Happy’ish days!
