'I love the simplicity of the 1940s'
Meet the Nottingham woman who looks like she's walked straight out the 1940s - with a vintage home where she cooks wartime food and has a strictly vinyl music collection. Hannah Hall, who prefers not to share her age, developed an affinity with the 1940s after watching wartime films with her late grandfather, Henry, as a little girl.
“I loved the community feel and street parties for morale - we have just been through a massive pandemic where people have had to make their own fun at home. I feel nostalgic for an era I have never even lived in. “My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2014 and deserves the world - I didn’t want her to keep moving from house-to-house. We managed to save up for a deposit and bought a 1920s house.
They ripped out the laminate flooring in the living room to reveal the original floorboards and installed a traditional log burner. “We filled the room with old sewing machines and put 1940s books on the bookshelves," Hannah said. Hannah added: “I love the simplicity of the 1940s and throughout my life I’ve boiled the kettle and had a hot water bottle instead of putting the heating on. I was raised to live within my means and I’m very content doing so - I’m not lavish.
