I understand that F Briant (Labour) won with a majority of 29 votes.

Who were the other Candidates and How Many Votes did each get?

Many thanks.

'So, where is the Mighty Leli, this evening?' I ask myself.

I thought that the answer to this would have been returned within record time.

But no.

It looks like I shall have to go to the Library yet again tomorrow.

Hey, Nonny, No.

Who'd be a man?

EVERYBODY:

Please now consider this Question CLOSED!

It is being reserved for Leli whom I've asked to post an Answer.

You may still Comment, though.

Many thanks.

Now got the info, I needed ...

And Mr Lazarus didn't even come second!

Bryan, this link could be useful

Probably one of the candidates was Jack Lazarus. ("Conservative-supported")

Try an Amazon "search inside" on "All the Devils Are Here" by David
Seabrook. See page 79:

It looks as if the election meeting described was in the right part of Lambeth:

But you'll still have to go to the library, I'm afraid.

Leli

Hi Freddy, Hi Leli, Hi Lo,

Great Links ... Many thanks.

Yes, I was hoping that Jack Lararus's name would pop out of the hat, and it did!

But the fate of the Lambeth Baths was a bonus.

OK, so I don't really mind having to go to the Library again because
EVERYBODY there is so nice and helpful

So, Leli, please post an answer!

Warmest regards

Bryan

Hi, Again, Freddy

That was one GREAT Link.

Thanks again!

I hadn't realised how many 'parties' there'd been during that timespan.

The next time I'm in Cheltenham, I'll give you a big wave, from the street.

I don't expect that 'they' would let me in to such a hush-hush
establishment, would they?

Bryan

Bryan, apologies for going AWOL for a while.

I'm very glad you found your answer at the library.

I was lucky and found Jack Lazarus quite quickly, so you didn't need
to make your kind suggestion that I should post my snippet of
information in the official box, but thank-you so much for your usual
generous spirit.

Election meetings were much more exciting in the days when people
actually went to them.

Hope the research is going well - Leli

Bryan, are you sure about Briant being a Labour candidate?

Liberal Party, according to
http://www.election.demon.co.uk/marginal.html

Frank Briant?

Looking forward to see your big wave from the street.
Well, sorry to say, ... I suppose they wouldn't let you in.

Regards,
Freddy

Leli,

You are so kind ... Many thanks!

Freddy,

Briant was a Liberal.

Silly me, I had assumed that 'L' meant Labour but I discovered my
error when I saw the Results today in The Times.

Many thanks!

Bryan
