Book Synopsis
Harry Houghton considers himself to be just an ordinary bloke. He was born in 1946 just after WWII in a country that had been devastated by the war. Industries were struggling, money was in short supply and there was a lack of social care except from your own family. There was no NHS until 1948 and food rationing continued until 1953. Keeping your sanity and wit was crucial. His mother, like many mothers of the day, including those who had been employed for the war effort, struggled to cope with daily life. Fathers and husbands had also had a big part to play in the war doing necessary work in the Forces, coal mines, steel industry and railways. Harry wanted to write this biography as a personal story that was also a historical account, reflecting some of his memories and experiences and the struggles that made him into the man he is today.
