During the Second World War, Plymouth suffered some of the worst
Blitz damage in the country. Bustling streets such as Bedford
Street, George Street and Old Town Street were totally destroyed,
while popular stores including Dingles, Pophams, Boots and
Woolworths were reduced to rubble. Casualties were high, yet the
people of Plymouth kept their spirits up with concerts and regular
dances held on the Hoe. On a visit to the city, Winston Churchill
congratulated the local people by stating, 'Your homes are low but
your hearts are high!' Illustrated with over 220 archive
photographs and documents, Plymouth at War offers a unique record
of the wartime history of Plymouth. This volume documents aspects
of everyday life during this time, from the destruction of homes by
enemy bombing and air-raid casualties, to the trials of rationing
and evacuation and recalls the people who lived in and defended the
city during those dangerous years.
