In 1985 a Peace Convoy of New Age Travellers (Hippies) on their way to a Stonehenge Free Festival in Wiltshire, was intercepted by the UK police.
Violent conflict erupted and several poliemen and travellers ended up in hospital; the conflict became known as @The Battle of the Beanfield’.
The police brutality was excessive and inflicted violence upon pregnant women. The battle herald the demise of the New Age movement. The whole shameful incident was immortalized in Prof, George McKay’s book: ‘Senseless Acts of Beauty – Cultures of Resistance’.
