HADEN HILL HOUSE - SECOND WORLD WAR EVENT OCTOBER 2015

Haden Hill House, Cradley Heath, hosted it's Second World War Event last weekend.  Visitors to this lovely Victorian house and parkland were able to taste food as it was cooked during #WWII. The bread and butter pudding, with sultanas soaked in tea prior to cooking, was delicious!   There was also a food rationing display pictured below,

an exhibition of wartime uniforms and also items from the museums WWII collection to see and nostalgic music of the time to listen to.  There were vintage vehicles in the grounds, and pictured, an American GI Re-enactment and a #1940s tea wagon.

 

 Lots of re-enactors were ready to talk to the visitors and help to re-create the atmosphere of 1940s Britain. Great day, already looking forward to next years event!
