(October 12th) in 1948, the first Morris Minor car rolled off the production line at Cowley, Oxfordshire, and made its official public debut at the Earls Court Motor Show in London 2 weeks later, on October 27th 1948.

Frith photos are full of nostalgic views of old cars, perhaps none more so than the extremely popular Morris Minor, which was launched in 1948 and went on to become the first British-made million-selling car. Read more about this much-loved car in our special blog.

in 1977 and 100 years after it was opened in the May of 1877, the Winter Gardens at Morecambe in Lancashire became a listed building, but sadly closed later that year. However, it has been the subject of a campaign since the 1980s to restore the building to its formal glory and is now, once again, entertaining visitors whilst ongoing extensive refurbishment works are carried out.

St Pancras Station in London was opened day (October 1st) 1868, taking its name from nearby St Pancras's Church, over whose churchyard some of the railway lines were laid. The station served the Midland Railway. At the time of its opening, the roof of its arched engine shed, designed by William Henry Barlow, was the largest single-span roof in the world.
