Bromsgrove Lecture A Great Success
Bromsgrove Society Chairman Pat Tansell gave the 33rd Bromsgrove Lecture on Tuesday 16th April to a full house in Routh Hall Bromsgrove School.
The topic of the talk was "Bromsgrove on the Eve of War; Our Town and District in 1939". The superbly researched and referenced talk delighted the audience with information about setting up Air Raid Shelters and systems, the practice for dealing with bomb damage and associated casualties and gave a real insight into life in Bromsgrove as the war broke out.
This wonderful illustration of the evening was created by Laura Brodrick from www.thinkbigpicture.co.uk in the audience on the night. Thank you Laura, you've really captured the talk so well.
