Coal House at War History Documentary hosted by Nicola Reynolds, published by BBC in 2009 - English narration Information ------------------------------ Coal House at War This fascinating living history series sees three families return to Stack Square, transporting them back to 1944 and the Second World War, to live as coal miners' families. Having given up their comfortable lives, they are faced with the dangers and many hardships of war. The families experience all aspects of life as it was in 1944. The men work long, punishing days down the coal mine, followed by tending the Stack Square shared allotment as people were encouraged to 'Dig for Victory' to overcome food shortages. They also have to endure the arduous Home Guard training, each getting a taste of army life and discipline. The women have to juggle their relentless household chores with compulsory work at the munitions factory, undertaking a variety of different tasks for the war effort. The children, meanwhile, have their own worries with daily doses of cod liver oil and the ever present threat that their pet rabbits may be served up for dinner. Joined by evacuees and the Bevin Boys, young lads sent by the Government to work the mines, the families struggle to cope with strict regimes, rationing, air raids and blackout fines but rediscover the strong community spirit and courage that war evoked. The Griffiths Family Story In 2008, three Welsh families took part in an extraordinary social experiment - they were transported back to 1944 to experience life in a World War II mining community. In this programme, we take a look back at the Griffiths family's time in Stack Square and reveal how Rose, Hywel, Mandy and the boys felt when they returned to modern life.
