Thank you to Mark Norris and Newquay Zoo who kindly donated a wonderful collection of original WW2 newspaper clippings and cookery pamphlets and books to me back in 2022.

Quote: “The World War Zoo Gardens research project, schools workshops and allotment at Newquay Zoo ran from 2009 to 2019 (from the 70th to the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of WW2).”

I’ve always wanted to share more of these, and have done so periodically but now with a little more time to create content, I’d like to share something from this collection once a week going forward.

Most of these books will still be under copyright so I cannot scan all the pages but as someone kindly commented yesterday, sharing some of the pages in a video for educational purposes is “fair use.”

This is a wonderful wartime book if you love vegetables!

Hope you enjoy!
