  A collection of over 200 images supported by informative captions portray the experiences of the people of Derby during World War II. Rather than a definitive account of the War ears, this is an attempt to recapture the atmosphere during one of the most important periods in Britain's recent history - a time when the nation's towns and villages fought for their very survival against a determined enemy, in a war that touched the lives of everyone. These images offer a glimpse into past times. Names and dates are provided where possible, revealing historical and anecdotal detail that gives life to the scenes and personalitys captured through the camera lens.
