Alfred Hitchcock, ‘The Master of Suspense’, died in Bel Air, California, on 29 April 1980.

As Hitchcock was born in Leytonstone and lived in London till 1939, the Archive contains scores of stories about his life in the UK – indeed, it’s very interesting to follow his life and career via newspaper reports contained in the BNA.

Included below are two reports from the 1920s that offer a snapshot of Hitchcock’s life as a film director when he lived in England.
