Repair and Mend
Before the 1960s, few people in Britain could afford to discard anything that might be repaired and re-used. This 'Yesteryear Scrapbook' offers a fascinating insight into how people employed their ingenuity to repair and mend.
1940s and 1950s Recycling
The 1940s and '50s were an era when hats and car tyres were recycled, and aluminium saucepans became fighter-planes! One ambitious gentleman even built an entire house from material salvaged from bomb-sites ...for the meager price of £82!
