Among the publications I rescued from David Webb’s flat were 15 copies of Britain To-day, a magazine published between 1939 & 1954. Because the British Library has what appears to be a complete set, and also because the issues concerned are all 40+ pages in length, I have scanned only the selected articles which are enumerated below in chronological order. Some of the articles include photographs. In each case I have included the front cover.
