Talk:Stanley Evans

An interesting article, but:
What did Evans do after his resignation as an MP? All we know from the current article is that he resigned after the Suez Crisis, and died over a decade later.

 * I'd love to answer that question but the sources are lacking. No occupation was listed in "Who's Who". He may have retired; more likely is that he went back to his business supplying sand. There was a trace of him making a speech in 1959 in which he attacked Hugh Gaitskell and defended his stance on Suez. I'll dig it out and check it again. Sam Blacketer 14:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

He went back to work at his sand quarry, and dropped out of political life almost completely (I believe there were a few articles in the papers, but nothing more active than that). Source: He was my grandfather (who I never met, sadly) so that's anecdotal from conversations with my father. – Steve Evans, 07 June '10. 188.221.248.86 (talk) 16:38, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for confirming that - it ties up a loose end. Sam Blacketer (talk) 20:44, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

There is now a book in the British Library of his writings. This is a composite of his diary while travelling (a cruise he took for health reasons) and his "Christmas Cards" which were commentary on events of the day. http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?tabs=moreTab&ct=display&fn=search&doc=BLL01015950877&indx=1&recIds=BLL01015950877&recIdxs=0&elementId=&renderMode=poppedOut&displayMode=full&dscnt=0&fctN=facet_rtype&frbrVersion=&fctV=books&tab=local_tab&dstmp=1340811237984&mode=Basic&fromLogin=true&vl%28freeText0%29=stanley%20n%20evans&vid=BLVU1

I don't know if this can be added to the main article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.9.155 (talk) 15:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
