1958 race riots in Nottingham, England

The 1958 St Ann's riots, also known as the Nottingham riots or the Nottingham race riots, was a racially motivated riot from the 23 August 1958 to 6th September in the suburb of St Ann's in Nottingham. Racism after post-war immigration from the Caribbean led to racial tensions, which exploded into clashes in the summer of 1958. Several men and women were injured, and one man needed 37 stitches after a throat wound.
