Nothing ever happened on a Sunday except Sunday school

remember Children’s Hour and bread ’n’ dripping for tea

We might not all vividly remember the war years, but all of us born in the 1940s will recall the deep scars it left and the incredible wartime spirit that lived on long after the VE Day celebrations.

The war also brought about huge social change – women became vital to the workforce, the National Health Service gave us free healthcare and secondary education was a must for all children over 11. All things we take for granted today.

In the early 1950s life remained tough and rationing continued. But the glamour of technicolour Hollywood and the birth of rock’n’roll kept our spirits high.

There’s no doubt we grew up with very little but we always managed to create our own fun. Here’s just a few of our most cherished memories of precious times.

We can taste the cod liver oil and welfare orange juice to this day…

lots of pictures for you

I remember when we used to have the Boys Brigade band from the local baptist church march round the estate on a Sunday am

I didn't have cod liver oil back then that I can remember but I had a malt extract called 'Virol' anyone remember that, it was meant to build you up, I was a skinny it thing.

My mum used to make me have virol every day, I hated it

I have a pic of Dad standing in front of a metal ad for Virol at the North Norfolk Railway posing like Popeye. I will try and hunt it out and scan it
