What was it like before the Clean Air Act of 1956? Share your memories

Sixty years on since the introduction of measures to reduce air pollution we'd like to hear your smog recollections

In 1952 the great smog of London saw a week-long pea-souper take over the capital which contributed to the deaths of at least 4,000 people. In response to the disaster, the government passed the Clean Air Act of 1956 aimed at reducing air pollutants.

Recently, the new mayor of London Sadiq Khan unveiled plans to substantially increase the size of London's clean air charging zone to tackle the capital's illegal air pollution levels.
