Was only talking wartime diet with Mrs A yesterday. Both of my parents (b 1931 and 37) ate it. Dad lived to 82, mum is still going at 87. Had also come across Elsie Widdowsson & her work via the Physiological Society, but hadn't heard she grew up in Dulwich.

I was born in KCH in Camberwell & used to be on the Physiol Soc's @physoc.bsky.social History & Archives C'tte some years back. Pleased to see the good work continues.

And indeed it is! With a bit of poking about have tracked down a pic of the same staircase but without the ghostly girl. Funny how pictures can trigger these long-dormant visual memories.
