The 15th Worldcon was held at the King's Court Hotel in London in 1957. 268 members attended.
The 1957 Hugos were awarded at Loncon I for works with eligibility in 1956-57. Winners are shown in red.
The photos from Norman Shorrock's collection are simply outstanding. According to Ina, these pictures were taken by a professional photographer. Norman made a deal with him after the con and bought 3" x 5" copies of just about all the photos, which have been in a box in Higher Bebington ever since. Ina Shorrock put them in albums to display in the Fan Room at Paragon (the UK Eastercon) for Easter 2001. Ina in turn allowed Bill Burns to take the photos back to New York to be scanned and put on the web, where they now reside at his site, efanzines.com.
The Memory Hole Annex is an archive of convention material, and is administered by Pat McMurray. The Annex includes material from most Worldcons including all of the UK Worldcons.
