In 1945 the Stroud and Nailsworth Defence Committee published an extraordinary book called Area Eight in the War Against Hitlerism, recounting the efforts of local people to keep the District safe during World War Two. This display explores all aspects of life on the Home Front in Stroud, from fire watching to fundraising, preparing for invasion to dealing with enemy bombs.
