A portrait of love and marriage in the very alternative world of Fifties Britain
It was a country where doors were left unlocked, children played in the street and crime levels were low and falling. On Saturday in the Mail, the first part of our serialisation of a major new manual about s Britain revealed it was a nation built on shared values. In today's extract, we examine how marriage underpinned society 50 years ago - although there was a deafening silence on the subject of sex
Butlins was the holiday of choice for many people in the Fifties, and it was during the contest for Personality Girl Of The Week at the Clacton camp in that one young lady was asked to tell the audience her ambition in life.
