- Bildung
Cliff Bagent grew up in and around the village of Bottisham, Cambridgeshire. As a child during world war two, alongside his brother, Cliff learned to grow his own food. In this oral history Cliff reflects on what they grew and how and the necessity for it due to the war and rationing. Cliff also talks about how he and his fellow school friends were enlisted to help with harvesting during this time, an opportunity to get time off school while earning some pennies.
Cliff was interviewed by Jessica Wright, Dion James Martin and Teagan Courtenay-Moore at Bottisham Village College.
This oral history was recorded as part of the Crafty Sew and Sows Project in Cambridgeshire. Led by the charity Red2Green, funded by the HERITAGE LOTTERY FUND and delivered in partnership with Swaffham Primary School and Bottisham Village College.
Michael Snodgrass from Red2Green managed the Crafty Sew & Sows project.
Kulwant Dhaliwal of Hi8us Midlands collaborated with project participants to produce this oral history with support from Michael Snodgrass and staff at Bottisham Village College.
