About this event
IN-PERSON EVENT
Using the Baedeker Guide book to find historic towns and cities in England, the Luftwaffe bombed Norwich on 27/8 April 1942. For the 80th anniversary of the raids we bring together a number of local documents and speakers to look into what happened. During our 90 minute event Daryl Long will explore the tales of a local firewatcher in Norwich, Frank Meeres will explain how we can find out more about the Beadeker Raids through the archives, and we will explore the street where the bombs hit. There will also be a rare chance to see the enormous Norwich bomb map, measuring just over 180cm square, and Wally Emm's cycling map from the Norfolk Heritage Centre.
