Coal House at War http://forums.mvgroup.org/release.images/Harry65/Coal.House.at.War%207.jpg  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 Paisey Family Story In 2008, the Paisey family from Cardiff took part in BBC Wales' landmark living history series Coal House at War. For a month, the Paiseys and two other families were transported back in time to 1944 to face the hardships of life in a World War II mining community. In this programme, we see how Natalie, Stephen and their four children coped with their time in Stack Square and how they felt once they returned to modern life.
