I think you will find the winter in question was 1962-63!

Indeed !! I remember wading through huge drifts over Xmas while trying to get to
the park to meet my boyfriend....:~)

The met office has the following:
The winter of 1962/63 was the coldest over England and Wales since 1740. As in
1947, anticyclones to the north and east of the British Isles brought bitterly
cold winds from the east day after day. As in 1947, depressions followed tracks
to southward of the British Isles and their fronts brought snow to England,
Wales and the southernmost parts of Scotland.
