11am on Sunday, 3rd September 1939, the people of Britain gathered around
their wireless sets to hear the Prime Minister's announcement that Britain was
at war with Germany.
The war presented great challenges to everyone, individuals and businesses alike. This gallery shows how Sainsbury's responded to the demands of total war. Over the course of the war there were around 600 incidents of bomb damage to Sainsbury's stores. This display shows the effects of just two of these at the company's East Grinstead branch. This display examines the changing role of women within the business in response to wartime conditions. This gallery shows how Sainsbury's coped with the challenges presented by rationing The Life in wartime was hard, and treats were often difficult to come by.
