Framed Print of Women recording votes for the General Election 1955
Women recording the General Election votes, 26 May 1955, in Brixton town hall, London. The 1955 General Election, often described as one of the dullest of the post-war period, saw a substantial yet unsurprising increase in the Conservative majority, giving them 345 MPs for the next term. The Conservative party, led for the first time by Antony Eden, proved a stark contrast to the 72 year-old Clement Attlee who continued as the leader of a divided Labour party, and the 1955 Election was the last time the Conservatives dominated the constituencies of Scotland. These women are counting votes for the constituency of Brixton which elected Marcus Lipton of the Labour Party, who won the seat in 1945 from the Conservative MP Nigel Colman and retained his majority until its abolition in 1974. Date: 26 May 1955. The official print site of the Illustrated London News Archive. © Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans
