Tilehurst in World War Two Talk
with Mike Cooper
Was there any such thing as an “ordinary” community in WW2? Mike Cooper looks at the experience of Tilehurst from newspaper and official records. Tilehurst was bombed, saw the arrival of US airborne troops, raised a Home Guard company and its people welcomed evacuees. From as early as October 1939, the village suffered losses and was also organised as part of Civil Defence and food production.
Pre-booking is required, because the event link will be sent in advance.
