STEP into 1955 through original Evening Standard reports of the time. This Historic Newspaper Book offers a unique lens on a year defined by icy weather, political transition, and atomic ambition.
In Westminster, change arrives. Winston Churchill steps down. Anthony Eden becomes Prime Minister, taking over at a time of uncertainty both at home and abroad. In Moscow, Nikolai Bulganin rises to lead the Soviet Union.
Back home, disruption spreads. A national rail strike brings the country to a halt. Political tensions mount.
Culture flickers with glamour and noise. James Dean shines in East of Eden, hailed as the best bad boy since Brando. Judy Garland returns in A Star Is Born. Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren captivate the screen. Variety arrives in living rooms with The Big Show.
