Are you ready again for more time travelling? Some years ago, on a bus, the man next to me, completely out of the blue, said "Hasn't this week gone quickly!" I thought, then, what a daft remark it was, almost as if he thought we'd shared all the same experiences. Now, looking back at the 50's, however, it seems as if we could all say, "Didn't that decade go quickly!" So much happened; the Festival of Britain, the Coronation, Warwickshire winning the Championship and Villa the Cup, the ascent of Everest, the trad boom and rock and roll, Teddy boys, Vespas and Lambrettas, bubble-cars, variety and pop stars galore visiting the city and so on.

In the 50's, the future lay mysteriously ahead. Let's go back in time to remind ourselves of how we looked and behaved and dreamed our dreams.
