Illustrated talk: Stamford in the 2nd World War What impact did the 2nd World War have on Stamford and the surrounding district? Philippa examines how the town coped, from the pre-war preparations to the victory days in 1945, and the long aftermath of rationing and austerity. She looks at local people’s contributions to the war effort, as well as the wider effects of conscription and the presence of various armed forces in the area.
