Vintage London & UK 1982

[MplsTodd]

Here's a collection of slides taken back in Fall 1982 in London, plus a few trips to Brighton/Hastings, Edinburgh and York/Whitby/Yorkshire Dales. There's not much I can say about London as its one of the best known cities in the world. I had a fantastic time--it was the era of Dexy's Midnight Runners, The Specials, Soft Cell's "Tainted Love", Eddie Grant's "Electric Avenue", Squeeze, & The Jam. One day in December 1982, I snuck out onto the roof of the Hilton Hotel (at the SE corner of Hyde Park) to try to capture city views of London. I was amazed how easy it was to get up there! Anyway, I hope you enjoy these photos from nearly 40 years ago!
