Product Description
Product Description
The Liverpool of early September 1939 was
a thriving port and bustling city of over
800,000 people.WorldWarTwo changed
this forever Between the 27th June 1940 and
the I0th January 1942 Hitler's Luftwaffe rained
down death and destruction on the city,
reducing many fine buildings to either burnt
out shells or piles of rubble. During the first
week of May 1941 alone the raids killed 1,453
people and seriously injured around another
thousand.
The intervening 70 years have seen the city
undergo drastic changes: docks that no longer
have ships berthed there, terraced streets
that have been cleared to make way for
modern housing and grand old buildings
that have been demolished in the name of
progress. For many people wartime images
of Liverpool are almost unrecognisable, such
is the facelift the city has undergone.
