Sirens, Silk and Spitfires: Letchworth Garden City in World War II - 23 January 2024

Josh Tidy, Heritage Manager at the Letchworth Heritage Foundation, gave a fascinating talk on the town during World War II. We heard about home life, including the monotonous diet, and the role of various Letchworth industries in supporting the war effort including British Tab, Spirella, Kryn and Lahy, Meredew and more. A bumper crowd of 40 of us listened to the detail and anecdote with great enjoyment.
