1953: Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

Updated December 2019

In 1953 in Sheffield, the GA held its Diamond Jubilee Celebrations.

These were reported in 'Geography' at the time.
















There were some speeches given at the event, some of which were reported in the journals at the time.
Frank Debenham, who was President at the time made some comments.



Stephenson Hall is now a student residence of the University of Sheffield it seems.

There was also a first reprint in the same issue of a talk from Thomas Cotterill Warrington at the Golden Jubilee Conference which was held in Cambridge in 1943.
