The late 1950s was an action-packed, often dramatic time in which the contours of modern Britain began to take shape. These were the ”never had it so good” years, when the
Carry On film series and the TV soap
Emergency Ward 10 got going, and films like
Room at the Top and plays like

The consequences of this ”modernity”
zeitgeist, David Kynaston argues, still affect us today.
