England in the 1960s
Vintage colour photos of England from the 1960s, capturing towns, cities, and everyday life during a decade of rapid social, cultural, and urban change. Taken on colour film, these images document English streetscapes, high streets, housing, industry, transport, and public spaces as the country moved through the mid-20th century.
This collection features locations across England outside the capital, with London covered separately in its own dedicated category. From industrial centres and new towns to seaside resorts and rural communities, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of life in England during the 1960s, before later redevelopment and modernisation reshaped much of the landscape.
All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
