Description: | This television set was made in the 1950s by Murphy Radio Limited. It is quite small and light and has a handle for carrying. To save space and still make the screen big enough, the controls are positioned on the sides. Television programmes had been broadcast since 1936, but it was in the 1950s that television really became a part of daily life in Britain when TV sets became more affordable. By 1960 70% of households had one. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.science&industry.483689 | Go to resource |
