Product Description
Product Description
In October 2007, the Cartwright family took part in BBC Wales' landmark living history series "Coalhouse", which saw 3 families transported back in time to the south Wales coalfields of the 1920s. "Coal House Diary" is the diary of 12-year-old Gwen Cartwright, whose family left behind all modern-day luxuries, swapping their high-tech lifestyle for a basic miner's cottage. Gwen's school day and social life were a world away from what she was used to and she records what it was like to live as a child in a 1920s working family - the hardships that they faced and the surprising simple pleasures that are overlooked in our modern-day lives. The book will contain photos from the BBC archive as well as pictures from the Cartwright's personal collection, making this more than just a diary, but a journey into history.
