Tony Hancock Archives

Jeff Hammonds was a stalwart of the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society over many years and had built up an incredible personal archive of material related to Hancock. Jeff was sound archivist for the Society and was responsible for the recovery of many recordings for the Society’s archive and also ensured that many Society events, featuring guests who are sadly no longer with us, were recorded for posterity.

Jeff, with many others, set up the Tony Hancock Archives website many years ago and, from 2009, also produced an eponymous ad-hoc magazine which was available by subscription. Following Jeff’s sad passing in 2020, the Tony Hancock Archives website is no longer live and the magazines produced for the website are no longer available to purchase.

With thanks to Jeff's family, we are delighted to be able to make these magazines available here.
