“A.R.P. workers, policemen and firemen have gone in for pig-farming in a big way in Britain. In their standby duty hours, they’ve built pig pens and sties with the sticks and stones of bombed houses, generally using the back yards of their stations for housing the pigs. Notre Dame Pig Club.was a police effort in the back yard of a ruined convent. The food was being cooked when I was there in large laundry coppers taken 'from a derelict house. The pig swill was being sorted in three white enamel baths. It was odd to see those baths out in the open, still complete with chromium taps and sponge racks, and still odder to hear the contented grunts of about thirty fat pigs not 100 yards away from one of London’s busiest streets.”— Audrey Russell on “London Pigs” in a 8.8. C. broadcast.
