Show transcript
Looking at photographs of Britain from the 1940s and 1950s can tell us a lot about that time. Photographs of bomb damage and new types of housing can tell us about the effects of the Second World War. Photographs of kitchens can show us what life at home was like in the 1950s. Photographs of busy streets in London and Leeds can tell us about the sorts of transport people used. All of these photographs can tell us about things that have changed or stayed the same since these times.
