Hair Braiding, Blackpool 1998

This is June 1998 between the South Pier and the Pleasure Beach, possibly Osborne Rd. There were quite a few of these little 'pop up' businesses along the pavements trying to catch the visitor's eye; balloonmen, three for a pound lighter sellers, gypsys selling heather  etc.  Working beneath the radar of the the authorities they disappeared as quickly as they appeared when the weather turned bad or the council inspectors were spotted making their rounds.

Note that high-waisted jeans were currently fashionable.
