Description
Ray Richardson – Catalogue 2020
‘No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish’ were allegedly placed in the windows of some pubs and bed & breakfasts in England in the 1960s. Whether these signs actually existed is currently debated, but the message resonates strongly enough for it to have moved into everyday language as an ugly example of historic discrimination.
