The Great Smog of '52 or Big Smoke was a severe air pollution event that affected London during December 1952. A period of cold weather, combined with an anticyclone and windless conditions, collected airborne pollutants mostly from the use of coal to form a thick layer of smog over the city. It lasted from Friday 5 to Tuesday 9 December 1952, and then dispersed quickly after a change of weather.

Does anybody here remember 1952?

Something like that happened in this country too, I think in the late 50's or early 60's. I saw a television show on it once but even though I wasn't around in 1952 my brain's hard drive is getting full and I don't remember many details.
