As part of Heritage Open Days this walk explores key sites and events in Hertford during the war.

Hertford welcomed evacuees from London and soldiers to the town.

People were urged to “Dig for Victory”, “Make Do and Mend” and fund raise for planes and warships.

Volunteers joined the Home Guard and ARP (Air Raid Precautions). But people found time to enjoy themselves at the cinema and concerts.
