20 Swinging Sixties Hustles That Built UK Suburban Fortunes!
Before the internet, before online businesses and before modern side hustles, ordinary Britons were finding clever ways to make serious money.
The 1960s changed Britain forever. New towns and suburbs were appearing, car ownership was exploding, families had more disposable income, and an entirely new generation of consumers wanted products, services and entertainment they had never needed before.
And where there was new demand, there was money to be made.
In this video, we uncover 20 forgotten 1960s UK side hustles and businesses that helped ordinary people build suburban fortunes.
From Tupperware parties and Avon calling to mail-order catalogues, new-estate gardening, mod fashion, milk rounds, record shops, hi-fi installation and driving instruction, these forgotten businesses reveal how people turned the huge social and economic changes of the Swinging Sixties into income.
The fascinating thing about these businesses is that many didn't require huge amounts of money to start. They simply took advantage of changes happening around them.
New houses needed gardens.
New cars needed drivers and services.
Teenagers wanted records and fashion.
Families wanted new household products.
And Britain's growing suburbs needed almost everything.
The result was a wave of small businesses and side hustles that helped ordinary people create reliable incomes.
From the woman building a commission business from her living room to the entrepreneur buying and expanding a milk round, these stories show how people spotted opportunities hiding in everyday life.
