How We Used to Live: 1936-1953 - Programmes 1-10

Part of the "How We Used To Live" series, these videos programmes (1-10) show how the most turbulent years of the century took their toll on a fictional family. The depression of the thirties, the abdication, the war years, and the new optimism of the Festival of Britain are covered dramatically with archive film.

Study themes here include food rationing, the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the rebuilding of Britain and Europe.
