The 29th of July 1948.. The biggest sporting event in the world comes to London….Billed as the Austerity Games with post war rationing, no new venues were built, athletes were housed in existing accommodation, and some countries weren’t even allowed to participate. The event was destined for disaster..except London wasn’t having that.What was it like last time? We talk to the people who were there. Oxfordshire’s 1948 torch bearers, athletes and the people who lived it through it. What was it like last time on JACKfm thanks to Abbeyfield House Oxford…Independent community living with help when you want it.
