Housing
Many families lived in small houses or flats; in towns, the majority of people lived in small terraced houses. There were many blocks of flats as well as the terraced houses, but not many were as tall as the 'tower blocks' built after the war. In a tyical families hime, there was only a sitting room and kitchen, with two or three bedrooms upstairs. A limited amount of houses/flats had bathrooms or toilets, maeanung they had to create facitlies outside.
Contact
During WW2, not many homes had a phone. Pay-phones in red 'telephone boxes' did not always work after air raids, because of bombs. Therefore, to keep in touch, people wrote letters. Evacuees wrote postcards and letters home, whilst men and women in the forces wrote home too.
Children's entertainment
Entertainment at home for children was limited. They could listen to radio; for many their favourite programme/show was the teatime 'Children's Hour'. Children sometimes listened to music and comedy shows too, but hardly ever anything boring! Sometimes children played records on a gramophone or went to the pictures. In most places there was a Saturday morning film clubs for children.
The Aftermath
Although Britain was one of the victorious allies, it suffered greatly in the aftermath of the war. Over 4 million houses were destroyed and close to 65,000 people were killed in air raids. This wasn't helped by the fact that Britain had spent more than a quarter of it's national wealth. This left the country close to bankruptcy by the end of the war. Fortunately, after 3 years and a change in government, Britain recovered to a bare able financial state.
