Abstract:Produced in collaboration with the Lewis Cohen Urban Studies Centre. It brings together a collection of Brighton wartime reminiscences and documents how ordinary people were affected by the war.
This was a challenging time in British history, giving rise to moving accounts of individual lives set against a society undergoing profound changes. Using personal recollections, contemporary photographs, letters, a logbook and diaries, Brighton behind the Front vividly portrays what it was like to live in this south coast town during the Second World War.
