Default 1940's Garden



Pigs and Pig Keeping during the Second World War is a very interesting
subject and is covered quite a bit in a book I have. I also remember the
Pig Bins in the Road for our scraps. There were 'Pig Clubs' and a certain
amount of help was given if you were in a situation to keep a pig or more,
but as I understand it, you had to give some of the meat up!! If they
found out about the pig that is.


Thank you Joan in Gloucester.
