The Diary of Another Nobody - Life in 1952

This diary gives a fascinating account of life in the early fifties. Neighbours, friends and family were very dependent on each other. There was no telephone, motor car or television. It snowed in the winter and the summers were hot! The garden was cultivated to subsidise the food bill and to get fresh vegetables and fruit, still a scarcity after the war. Sugar, tea and coal were still on ration. Recreation included playing games, evening walks and a pint; there were no less than seven Public Houses in this small village. The wife was a mother and housewife very few Mothers went out to work. Relatives and friends called almost daily to socialise. An amazing picture of life in the raw in the middle of the last century.
