Crewe & Nantwich Groups: Home Front during WWI with Edward Hilditch

 

Edward's grandfather lived in mid-Cheshire and for years kept a diary.  Edward has transcribed these diaries and presents them in a series of talks.  Before the pandemic we had booked Edward to give this talk but unfortunatley we had to cancel this, so we are really pleased that he is able to now give this, the second talk in the series. 

1914-1918 Home Front during the First World War

 

Edward's grandfather lived in Elworth and worked for Fodens, this is the story of his life and his thoughts on world and local events during the time, a fascinating insight 

 

This event is open to all, £2 entrance charge for members and £3 for visitors, refreshments served
