The Courtauld Gallery will be putting on an exhibition of 50 pictures by the acclaimed British photographer Roger Mayne, celebrating the lives of young people growing-up in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Mayne was passionate about photographing human life just as he found it, and is best-known for capturing the working class communities of West London.

He pictured everything from children at play and the city's swaggering teenagers to iconic street scenes and intimate pictures of his own family, embodying both the scars and radicalism of post-war Britain.
