Little Robyn Darkie Day - BBC Radio 4 on "The Untold" (89* d) RE: "Darkie" Day - BBC Radio 4 on "The Untold" 25 Feb 16

Good Soldier, I have a photo I took the day after Mayday in 1972, of a young person (I think it was a girl but you can't really tell) dressed up and looking like a golliwog (is that term acceptable nowadays) and I was told it was a costume used for Darkie Day. This wasn't at Christmas, this was in May and the lass looked very much like the Robertson's jam label.
I was surprised at the time as I had never heard of it before but I was told it was a regular occurrence.
Robyn
