Members of Meifod Women's Institute making jam

Fruit preservation was encouraged during the period of food rationing so that even wild berries and fruits were not wasted. However, jams had to be made with little or no sugar as it was rationed.

Children outside air raid shelter, Gresford

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:
Air raids could happen at any time of the day or night so schools had to provide shelter for their pupils. In Gresford, near Wrexham, a purpose-built shelter in the school field served the pupils, which was paid for by Sir Alfred Mc Alpine, of Marchwiel Hall. Here we see the children leaving the shelter after an air raid exercise.
