Growing food in Chancery Lane, WW1
Mr Hubert Hall, resident officer of the Public Record Office in Chancery Lane, pictured hard at work in the gardens of the old Rolls House, where, under the direction of the Superintendent of Regents Park, he was growing vegetables among the flower beds during the First World War. Mr Hall, assisted by his colleague Mr. Headlam carried out the work before and after office hours and grew artichokes, carrots, parsnips, marrows and tomatoes - all part of the war effort to produce more food due to shortages and rationing.
