Date:1985

Description:"There were times of stillness and calm throughout the Handsworth disturbances of 1985, then without warning an eruption of bottles and bricks, the situation was extremely tense. It seemed as though the police and firemen were being led into a kind of street symphony." Pogus Caeser, February 2003.
