‘The content and presentation was excellent. Congratulations to all who were involved in putting it together’ Betty Wright
‘It was very good. We’ve lived here a long time and we just didn’t know or were aware of what happened here during the war’ Carolyn and John Popham
If you missed it first time ….
As part of the CA’s VE Day celebration, the Time Team dug into their archive and created a presentation based on elements of audio recording made of resident’s life stories supplemented by written testimony and research to verify the assertions made.
Most of the contributors lived all their lives in either Hillam, Burton Salmon or Monk Fryston including their early years, growing up and living through WW2. Their collective experiences, collated to chart the progress of the war from 1936, when a Zepplin passed over the villages, to the auction of surplus army vehicles in the late 1940’s provided a stunning insight never before fully understood or publicly revealed. It clearly illustrated the many facets of the war which residents experienced and the resilience they displayed.
We have been asked by a number of people who missed the presentation if we will you do it again? If sufficient people register their interest we will ‘do it again’ later this year.
