A talk by Professor Colin Kelcey, neuroscientist and Fellow of the Royal Institution

In December 1952, London was enveloped in a lethal ‘Smog’. This event brought the city to a standstill and triggered one of the worst ecological disasters of the 20th century resulting in thousands of deaths throughout the city. Professor Kelcey will examine the causes and consequences of this event and consider society’s subsequent approach to the problem of air pollution.

For our 2024 summer social, Ludlow & Marches Humanist members enjoyed a leisurely two-hour meander through the streets of the old town before a delightful lunch at Kins, on Old Street. We were guided in our walk by an entertaining ‘treasure trail’ which led us on a quest between about twenty points of interest, that included captured Russian cannons, carved wooden profiles, castle walls and ancient houses and trades. For mid-July in Britain, the rain surprisingly (mostly) held off, and the temperature was clement. As you can see, all seem to have enjoyed the experience, and we were able to chat about events and people and politics as all humans love to.
