Growing up in the States I heard later on in life what it was like in post-war Briton. Tough times after a World War.

What caused the post war fuel/coal shortage? Lack of investment capital? Empty mines?

[@svsfilm]

Combination of severe winter weather and fuel shortages post WW2. Many thanks for watching. Article in Wikipedia explains: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_1946%E2%80%9347_in_the_United_Kingdom
