An insight into British life 50 years ago. While much of the attention of this Jubilee year focuses on the Queen & the changes witnessed over the past half century, here is Britain at the dawn of what many heralded as the new Elizabethan age, an exploration in words & pictures of a nation still suffering the consequences of war but beginnning to move from austerity to affluence. The new monarch reigned over a diminishing empire. But it was also the year proposals for a new helidrome in central London were under discussion, British railways began mainline electrification, the first jet air service began operating. Rationing was still in force & television showed only one channel. But radio continued to entertain millions. The Olympics dominated the international sporting calender. It was a year of tragedy too, most notably the Harrow railway disaster, the Lynmouth floods & a thick & deadly London fog in December. Included here too is coverage of the death of King George VI, the accession & the first months in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The book also recalls education, arts & scientific advances, work, home life & leisure pursuits of the time. ...
