Welcome to this new online initiative, launched on 3rd September 2009 to mark the 70th anniversary of Britain joining the conflict we know as World War II.
Over the coming months and years we intend to build a comprehensive record of the events that impacted on Liverpool and her people during the war. Though centred round what will become a day-by-day timeline of all the main events, whether bombing raids, troop movements, convoy arrivals and departures etc, the initiative will also look at the everyday activities people got on with while they tried to maintain as normal a life as possible.
The 3rd of September 1939 is a date that will resonate through British history. The war and its consequences profoundly changed the world and its impact effect us all to this day. The impact on Liverpool was just as profound, we hope to record this over the lifetime of the project.
