During preparations for the Society’s publication ‘Kidderminster and District in the Second World War’, Bob Millward and other society members recorded interviews of a number of local inhabitants, which featured what they could remember about Kidderminster during the war.
On this evening, Bob presented selected audio passages taken from those recordings and presented them in the context of those troubled times.
This photograph is of Margaret Phelan (née Pugh), who spoke eloquently about her experiences as a schoolgirl who, in her spare time, worked on farms, singling beet or used a lathe to refurbish badly made bullets in Tomkinson’s factory, which had been turned over to munitions work.
