Wartime in Britain

Tucked away behind the stairs to the former radio tower at Bletchley Park is a tiny museum with all sorts of artifacts, clothing, books, toys, and supplies that the average British family would have used or needed during the war. I thought you might like to see a small selection of what was there. In some cases, you might want to enlarge the photo to see the details. They’re fascinating.
