Memories of Cricklewood during wartime

This talk was given by local resident, Mrs Nora Marshall, who has lived in the same house in Temple Road Cricklewood since 1940. It attracted quite a crowd, and proved to be one of the most popular talks that has been given.

Mrs Marshall talks about:
  • What the houses & Temple Road were like (1.5 min; 24 min, 38.5 min)
  • Food rationing (7 min, 32 min) and clothes rationing (26 min)
  • Local businesses and shops (28 min, 37 min, 42 min)
  • The bombing (16.5 min, 33 min, 51 min)
  • Smiths the factory (21 min)
  • Gladstone Park (44.5 min)
