BRITAIN AND THE WORLD FROM 1953

This part of the site initially started off as a tutorial exercise but has expanded out of all recognition. I hope that this section will eventually enhance the site as a whole and provide a useful resource for those of you who wish to check certain years and events. 
The starting date is my date of birth 16th November 1953

I have tended to concentrate on actual events rather than individuals and so biographical details are kept to a minimum. Should you wish to check whether or not a person is dead or not, may I suggest you contact the excellent Dead or Alive website which is highly informative on such matters.

This timeline is the result of my efforts alone. I must stress that the  information is the best I can do given the various constraints that I work under. Please check your facts with other sources to confirm both accuracy and authenticity. I have done my best, and hope that you will take this section of the site in that spirit

If you have any further information which you feel should be included or dates that need correction, please contact me
