In Britain, the 'Swinging Sixties' were an era of youthful optimism and rebellion. After the staid formality of the 1950s, it was time for the generation born during wartime to challenge the status quo.

Television exerted an ever stronger hold on the imagination of the nation, and for the first time, children grew up unable to recall a time when the flickering 'google-box' was not the focal point of the sitting room. The energy and excitement of the period was summed up by the rise of the Beatles who helped create Swinging London', transforming the capital of an empire into the worldcapital of youth culture. Self-service supermarkets continued to spread throughout the country, challenging local grocers with their new, modern way to shop. Boxes, wrappers and posters wwere bold and colourful - influenced by the vibrant, psychedelic designs of pop artists.
