Warwickshire Libraries will engage communities across four locations – Nuneaton, Bedworth, Atherstone, and Lillington – to collect, preserve, and creatively interpret local WWII stories and experiences of freedom.

By anchoring the work in the distinctive industrial, social, and cultural history of each location, the resulting creative outputs will authentically represent Warwickshire’s diverse communities while highlighting their shared experiences during a pivotal historical moment, and each event will – by extension – look and feel unique to its place and community.
