- Stamford-In-The-1930S-Philippa-Massey-Talk
What did Stamford look like in the 1930s? How badly was the town affected by the Great Depression and the financial slump?
Philippa charts the history of the town in this decade leading up to the Second World War. She looks at what changes there were in the buildings and shops, the employment and the workplaces, and the entertainment on offer.
