A list of the Points System used for rationing most essential foodstuffs during the period immediately after the war - this list notes that 'home canned fish' will no longer be rationed. Rationing continued for some years after the war as Britain adjusted to establishing food supplies and a peace-time economy. It finally ceased in 1954.From a series of albums containing newspaper and magazine clippings, assorted ephemera and a diary, kept by Mrs Lucy Awdry of 14 Franconia Road, Clapham, for the duration of World War II and recording wartime life in London.
