What was life like on the Bradford Estate and in the village of Castle Bromwich during the First and Second World Wars?
This day will include a mix of participation, re-enactors and community created exhibitions, spitfire stories and contemporary portraits of the re-enactors from our 40s event alongside photos from the ‘real’ 40s in the area.
We’ll be gathering reminiscences of working and living near the Spitfire factories, asking people to ‘fess up’ to scrumping and climbing the walls of the Gardens before it was rescued.
You might even find the maze transformed into a first world war trench… once you’re in can you find you way out?
The event is part of an ongoing community created local history project about Castle Bromwich, the Gardens and the immediate area during the First and Second World Wars.
Appropriate for all generations – be part of uncovering our histories.
We hope to have some tours of the Church, Gardens and Hall, as usual, Details are still to be finalised – please check back here nearer the date
Normal entrance fees apply £4/£4.50 (plus Gift Aid) available at the door. Gardens open at 12.30.
Tours and Garden entrance Free for Garden Members
