I have vague memories of catching a bus to Aldgate, then taking a trolley bus to my grandparents who lived near the docks. Just imagine the chaos that trolley buses would cause in that area now!

And wearing a liberty bodice over a vest. Anyone have any idea why we had to wear those?

Because it was so cold I guess.

Also my liberty bodice held my skirt up. Buttons on the bodice and buttonholes on the waistband of the skirt.

Happy days although I do have to say because of the cold war I did think an atomic bomb was going to be dropped any minute and really found it quite scarey.
