As a family we have been collecting for over 30 years. Limitations of space and changing interests have meant that as well as buying we have had to sell to make room for new additions to our own collection. Essentially our collection is divided into two areas: 1. WWII British Airborne artefacts 2. Homefront and Utility items. As frequent exhibitors to large scale militaria events, themed railway events etc we have become well known in the field of militaria and specialising in items relating to life during the 1940's on the Home Front. This ranges from uniforms of the home services, uniforms of women's services, civilian and utility clothing and any artefact from WWII home life from food cartons to furniture.

When booking in to events we had to choose a name that suited the exhibit, to which we finally agreed CC41 Home Front Displays was appropriate. As with most large collectors, we found ourselves having a clear-out once a year at the 'War & Peace Show' to get rid of duplicates and unwanted items. Whilst sorting out we were surprised by the number of people have who continually asked us to locate specific civilian items for them. So in an effort to help our fellow collectors we kept our eyes open. Word of mouth spread as did the demand for our service, so we decided to take this to its next logical step and set up a separate business.

The 40's Room LTD specialises in 1940's men's, women's and children's civilian clothing / CC41 utility items and memorabilia. We have a shop in bridgtown please call to book an appointment
