There have been so many people to have passed through our town its really a who's who of 20th century music film and television - and i dont know where to start ?

Electrical and Musical Industries
In 1968 ABPC studio's became EMI, a defining point of both the town and my own personal History. You can see it in the background of the Terry Spencer photograph and here. The studios have changed hands many times over the years and still exist to this day if not in a smaller, less glamourous capacity after some shocking town planning saw this fabulous building demolished and turned it into a roundabout for Tesco.
But as this is a History lesson we shan't dwell on the present, this is about the glorious past. I would go as far as to say if you haven't been to borehamwood, then who the hell are you ?

1969

thanks for vising borehamwood.

the main picture is by Terry spencer. here's a description for the photo.

In the North London suburb of Borehamwood, this gang of youths display the latest 'mod' style. The mod culture demanded that fashions constantly changed, so successive age groups developed their own look that differed from the early 1960s original. These youths have moved into the direction of 'hard mods', who rejected the finery of other mods and the hippies. The photo hints at Black style influences as well as the developing skinhead trend, particularly with the cropped hairstyles of both the girls and boys. There were distinct variations in dress between mods from different areas of London. Terrence Spencer worked for Life Magazine photographing the cults and fashions of youth culture during the 1960s.
