Product Details

Between 1939 and 1945, air raid warnings sounded 823 times in Kingston upon Hull. We know this thanks to the detailed chronology kept by Hull resident Winifred Louise Essen, which is published here for the ,first time. Winifred served as a fire guard during the latter part of the war and kept a hand written chronology of bombing activity, damage reported, casualties, and other aspects of life in Hull during World War Two. This published edition, edited by Christine Pinder provides a unique insight into the impact of the war on Hull and the surrounding areas, the extent of which was not widely acknowledged at the time.

Large A4 format with some black and white images 76 pages in total.
