Current affairs
The Liberals, led by Henry Campbell-Bannerman under a promise of reform, win a landslide victory in the general election. Electors vote to end two decades dominated by Conservative rule, with disaffection mounting over the conflict in South Africa and party division over education and tariff reform. The LRC continue to grow as a political force, winning 29 seats and changing their name later this year to the Labour Party.Art and science

San Francisco is devastated by an earthquake, measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, leading to the greatest loss of life from a natural disaster in Californian history. The impact itself and resulting fire lead to the death of over 3,000 people, and over half of the city's 400,000 population were left homeless. Although still a major city, the earthquake directs trade, industry and population south to Los Angeles.Comments back to top

[Arthur] Neville Chamberlain, second son of Joe, PM 1937-40, is third from the left, black moustache; this was a party to celebrate his father's 70th birthday [8 July] and the photo is probably the last taken of Joe before his massive stroke on 11 July 1906 that finished Joe's political career
