Fields of Cabbages: A Bedfordshire Clanger

The 1940s were years of war and austerity. If you are interested in that decade, this book may interest you. The Bedfordshire village of my youth, where produce was grown to feed the nation no longer exists. It is now commuter land, fed by Tesco, the fields buried under tarmac and brick. There is no Forge, no Water Mill, no pond, or barns for the barn owls. This book tells of that vanished life.
