MPX5159311: Typhoid outbreak. Aberdeen. Scotland. 1964. In 1964 there was an outbreak of typhoid in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. The first two cases were identified on 20 May 1964; eventually over 400 cases were diagnosed and the patients were quarantined at the City Hospital in Urquhart Road, but no fatalities resulted. The outbreak was eventually traced to contaminated tinned corned beef from South America made by Fray Bentos and sold in the city's branch of the Scottish grocery chain William Low. The infected meat then contaminated a meat slicing machine within the William Low shop, leading to the spread of the disease. Pictured.

MPX5160955: Mr Edward Murphy took music lessons at Sacred Heart RC Secondary School in Redcar. He accompanied the school choir and orchestra, and he had a thoroughly typical school dinner. In fact the only thing worth noting was that he played the piano continuously for 12 hours and raised £200 in sponsorship money. It was all part of the school bazaar which raised a total of £900 - more than enough to pay for the new computer which the school has on order. 14th July 1981 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
