Dunedin in the 1950s was drab and boring, right? Wrong - at least not at the Beau Monde milkbar...

Few admit hanging there, but the Beau Monde milkbar in Princes Street rocked.

It must have been quite something - Elvis and Little Richard belting out on the dukebox, Widgies flirting with US sailors, bikers on Triumphs, and Bodgies and Teddy Boys squaring up.

Get the word on this, and see the pics, and learn what the Sally Army made of it all - on City Walks' colourful Old Town walk.
