To be frank with you, as a child I knew nothing of the sock monkey toys. However, they've been around for around a hundred years becoming extremely popular during The Great Depression in America! Yesterday a father bought one for his kid and let me take a picture (of the monkey, I'm sure you can tell!):
It was on a cloudy Friday morning when I photographed Her Majesty in Upper Richmond Road:
Two pictures caught my attention in a coffee table book of black and white photographs of the 20th century Britain. Why these ones? Probably because of the parliamentary elections in Britain last Thursday and because of the recent Labour Day...

Left: Christine Keeler. She gained 'fame' owing to a brief affair with a Consevative minister in the early 1960s.It brought about his downfall as she was having a relationship with a Russian diplomat at the same time, during The Cold War...
