More deliveries from the furniture store queueing for the paintshop. The striped blazer was just practice for the piano keys...
Awaiting a rug, some pictures on the walls, and papers in the bureau.
Some thought was given to producing working televisions for the cottages but this is before daytime TV was invented so, apart from the test card or the clock, would anything else have been broadcast during the day in June 1960 on 425 lines VHF television? The Epsom Derby on June 1st and The Woodentops on Fridays at 2:30pm spring to mind but as I was only 11 months old at the time then there could be others that I've forgotten about
Now if we modelled Love Lane in October (the 21st actually) we could have the 20 minute programme showing the launching of H.M. Submarine Dreadnought - the UK's first nuclear powered sub.
And finally the site of the track-gang's next project — a 1in7 interlaced turnout with 12ft joggled straight switches in a "pre-grouping style". Some components for this have already been produced (e.g. 3d-printed chairs and keys, switch blades, stretcher bars). In the foreground on the up main is a B7 with semi-curved switches; the sole surviving turnout from the original layout.

The Grand National was broadcast on 26 March.
You could have 16 possible scenes from the 16 cameras on a small LCD
Grand National televised

Well, of course, watch with mother was on every day at lunchtime, not just the Woodentops on Friday, but Andy Pandy (doesn’t that strike a modern chord?!), Bill and Ben the flowerpot men amongst others.More deliveries from the furniture store queueing for the paintshop.

The programme scheduling of Watch with Mother seems to have been a continual nightmare as new titles were added, for example Picture Book and Rag, Tag and Bobtail, and changing from a mid afternoon to a late morning transmission. The classic five titles were followed by a raft of further childrens series in the 60s and 70s.

UK television ownership was about 80% of the population in 1960 therefore not every house would have a 405 aerial. UK television systems were 405 lines. The European standard 625 lines appeared in the UK in 1964.
A good number of Radio Times have been digitised: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/issues
Specifically: Schedule for June 1st 1960
Along with pictures on the walls...

How about a gramophone to play those rock & roll records on ....Elvis Presley " It's Now or Never" was at No. 1 for 8 weeks and Lonnie Donegan sold well with " My Old Man's a Dustman "

Good for air rifle practice when they went out of fashion.

Now worth relatively a lot of money. Probably because most of them were air rifle practice. But more desirable - much more desirable nowadays - are the wall mounted yachts which I bought for my dear departed mother and father when I was away on my second holiday away from home at about 14 years old. She had them for ever until she needed a plumber to replace some taps and knocked them off the wall.......
