War Time Solidarity

A Memory of Ellesmere Port.

My mother, her mother and my great grandma lived through war time while my grandfather fought in France ww2. Everybody knew each other and there was a great sense of community. People would help each other and look after their neighbours, and life back then humbled everyone who had it hard but appreciated every day. Old shops, no super markets, ration books, gas masks, air raids etc. The fear of being bombed every day, but strength and courage is what the older generation had and stood together.
