Wartime letters talk

Coffee Morning: Wartime letters from Wembley's Preston Park

About this event

Join Philip Grant from Wembley History Society for first-hand wartime stories from local housewives “Nancie” and “Doris,” based on letters from the 1930s–40s Preston Park estate. Hear about life during air raids, rationing, and family life, plus share your own experiences.

This event is part of the nationwide project Our Freedom Then and Now, exploring the legacy of VE Day and VJ Day. In Brent this takes the form of a dynamic community programme jointly delivered by Brent Libraries, Culture and Heritage and the Jason Roberts Foundation.
