A nostalgic illustrated history of the British home and its furnishings during wartime and in the early, difficult years of peace.
Learn about how the 1930s home became the 1940s home during and beyond the Second World War, with:
- the addition of anti-blast tape to the windows, sandbags round the door, and a Morrison shelter in the kitchen
- lawn and shrubs giving way to vegetable plots and chicken coops
- the rise of the pre-fab home with its cheaply and stylishly furnished rooms, for those whose houses were damaged or destroyed
- new estates, different from anything tried before the war, out of the bomb sites, offering state-of-the-art sanitisation and modern facilities to thousands
Ideal for anyone interested in the history of Britain, this compact guide features illustrations throughout.
