Fog in England 1959| Movietone Moment | 29 January 2021

On this day in 1959, fog in England was causing major chaos in many parts of England and Wales. Here is a British Movietone Report from a time where everything was brought to a standstill.

In Britain, the weather always makes news. If it isn't a blizzard, it's fog: slowing down the traffic of all kinds, cutting down visibility to a dangerous degree; putting a premium on how to get to work, and, more important still, some may think on how to get home!
