This illustrated talk by Heritage Officer, Sarah Gould, will focus on life in Merton during World War II and the immediate postwar era - from evacuation, air raids and rationing, to women's wartime roles, Victory street parties, pre-fabs and economic change. This event is part of the Memories of Peace project, a joint initiative between Digital Drama and Merton Heritage Service, supported by the National Lottery Community Fund.
