Study Description 

A One Place Study/street dedicated to the street where I was born. Through this project, I aim to explore the rich history, culture, and community that shaped the lives of the people who lived on this street between 1939 and 1962 – creating a time capsule which will include all the numerous significant events that unfolded before, during, and after WW2. By examining various historical records, personal accounts, and local narratives, I aim to gain a deeper understanding of this period. Telling the story of a place, a time, and a generation of people whose lives had been turned upside down by the events of WW2 and how, in this 20-year timeframe, no one family was untouched by WW2 whilst some at the same time were still recovering from WW1 only twenty years previous. And what effect post-war Britain had on the residents of Northdown Close.
