Sweets

Sweetshops in the early 1900s sold hard-boiled sweets such as humbugs, peppermints and pear drops.

Sweets were kept in big glass jars. The shopkeeper would weigh them out and hand them to customers in a paper bag.

How did life change?
It was important not to waste anything.

Women repaired socks and stockings. Men hammered new soles and heels onto their boots and shoes.

Mothers had to be inventive in the kitchen with meals like 'potted cheese': crumbs of cheese, mixed with mustard, baked and served with toast.

Everything was focused on the war effort. Life became harder for everyone, even those who stayed at home.

What shops were on the high street?
During World War One shops looked very different from today.

There were no supermarkets or shopping centres. Shops were smaller and many were named after the families who owned them.

When Danny's old enough, he'd like to be a soldier. Until then, though, he's doing odd jobs and collecting bottles to try and raise funds for an ambulance to help wounded soldiers on the front line.

Like his pals, Bert left school when he was twelve and now he has to work to bring money home to his mother. Selling newspapers was the first paying job that he could find. He gets up early every morning to buy the morning papers and then sells them through the day.

However, Bert needs to keep his voice down on a Sunday; if he's caught shouting out the headlines he could be fined.
