Today clearing out cupboards of my late f-I-l I found a cookbook published in 1954 which mentions mock cream and other mock things. Not sure what to do with it, if I kept it, it would just sit on a shelf but who would be interested in it; any ideas |

You could try your local museums if they have domestic items on display. |

There is a small museum in Tewkesbury just thought the book might be of some historical interest |

It is younger than me but I wouldn't hold that against it. |

There is the Folk Museum in Gloucester as well. Schools go there a lot. Probably is of historical interest as it is just post war, post rationing. |

We have a local history museum near to where I live, they are always very appreciative of any books like this. |

I have a cookery book, published in the 1930's, which was written to coincide with the invention of the Regulo for gas ovens, to teach people how to use it. |
