How long does UK copyright last?
Copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work (including
a photograph) lasts until 70 years after the death of the author. The
duration of copyright in a film is 70 years after the death of the
last to survive of the principal director, the authors of the
screenplay and dialogue, and the composer of any music specially
created for the film. Sound recordings, broadcasts and cable
programmes are protected for 50 years, and published editions are
protected for 25 years.

However, these terms of protection essentially apply only to works
originating in the United Kingdom or another state in the European
Economic Area. In other cases, the term of protection granted in the
United Kingdom is that given by the country of origin of the work,
which may be shorter.

Is there any protection after copyright expires?
If a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work or film for which
the copyright has expired has never been made available to the public,
it may be protected by publication right. This is granted
automatically to the first person to make a relevant work or film
available to the public within the European Economic Area, lasts for
25 years from the time of making available, and gives rights broadly
similar to those given by copyright.

If this doesn't answer your question you might find the answer by
wandering round the site!
