BISHAMPTON AND ITS LOCALITY – HOW A QUIET BACKWATER WAS IMPACTED BY WORLD WAR 2 AND THE COLD WAR
So maybe many people thought that nothing happened in and around Bishampton during World War 2 and The Cold War. Learn about what actually happened around here:
- plans for the evacuation from London of Royalty and the Government
- preparations to counter possible invasion through this area
- a detailed history through the decades of Throckmorton Airfield/R A F Pershore
- a resistance organisation which was highly top secret, and remained so for fifty years
- those men and women of the village who served in the forces during World War 2, and those that gave their lives – one unfortunately
- those residents of the village that served in the Home Guard, and those involved in other ways
Looking forward to the new book where can it be purchased from? My Grandad and Great Aunt are in the picture of the school children.
