Background Information

The reception which Norwich Conservative Women are giving Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin on their arrival at Thorpe Station this evening should provide a bright feature in what up to now has been an election devoid of much incident.The Women are attending a mass meeting in St. Andrew's Hall this afternoon and immediately after it was over they were to assemble in the Cloister Garth and march to the Station to greet their leader.Flags and banners were to be carried and a big crowd was expected to be present at Thorpe. (Eastern Evening News, 23rd May, 1929.) Ramsay MacDonald had visited Norwich the preceding January. The General Election was held on May 30th. However, Norwich returned a Liberal M.P., Geoffrey Shakespeare. Stanley Baldwin was Prime Minister from May 1923 to January 1924 and from November 1924 to June 1929. He was Prime Minister again from June 1935 to May, 1937. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1927.
