Salcombe History Society

Salcombe History Society’s 2019 Christmas meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Wednesday 27th November at Salcombe Rugby Club, Camperdown Road, Salcombe, TQ8 8AX.

The meeting will begin with a talk by Laurence Axworthy setting out the chronology of the Second World War bombing raids on Plymouth, including the tip-and-run raids, and showing the impact of each raid using  “then and now” pictures and film clips. There will be an opportunity to ask questions afterwards.

Refreshments will be available from the bar and following the talk the raffle will be drawn.

Copies of the Salcombe History Society 2020 calendar will be on sale along with DVDs and books of local interest so why not start your Christmas shopping early?

On a grey and blustery day, the residents of Salcombe gathered at the War Memorial to pay their respects. Salcombe History Society, as ever, was represented by Chairman Ken Prowse who laid a wreath on behalf of the Society.
