A teenager’s account of the difficulties of post-war life has been found hidden in a door panel that was saved from the tip.
The handwritten note tells of the daily six-hour power cuts, no coal “in any quantity” and short supply of food.
Tom Yuen, 31, from Cardiff, was searching for second hand door panels when he found the note, from 1947, which he says felt like a “handshake through time”.
Rationing lasted until 1954.
