Occasional Paper 47: Air Raid Precautions in Altrincham, 1936 to 1942 by David Eastwood

Description

This Occasional Paper is based on forty boxes papers recently found in the cellars of the Stamford Estate Office in Altrincham. These papers, which have now been conserved, were concerned with the organisation of Air Raid Precautions in Altrincham. Both Roger, 10th Earl of Stamford, and his agent Mr Robert Rosbotham were very much involved with the organisation of ARP Wardens in Altrincham. It is a fascinating glimpse into WW2 on the home front. 138 pages, including Index of local people and places.
