Britain at War

A study of Britain from 3rd September 1939 to VE Day, 8th May 1945. Covering all aspects of life: rationing, evacuees, the blitz, grim headlines during Britain’s darkest hour, ending in the euphoria of peace.

The first panels made their debut at Wonderwool in Wales in April 2025. The remaining panels will be revealed gradually, leading up to the grand unveiling of all 80 panels on 3rd September 2025 at Southwell Minster.
