Calling all Humber Hillman Apprentices

We are looking for some of the people in this classic old photo, which features the new intake of apprentices taken on by the Humber-Hillman Company in 1953. These fresh-faced young men would join the company while they were producing Hillman Minx models, a very popular family car of its time, and also Humber Hawks, Humber Pullmans and Humber Super Snipes.

Do you recognise any of the apprentices? If you know anything about any of the young men in the photograph we would love to hear about them.

Coventry & the Blitz

The city was bombed many times during the Second World War by the Nazi German Air Force. The most devastating of these blitzes occurred on the evening of 14 November 1940.

In one night, more than 4,000 homes in Coventry were destroyed, along with around three quarters of the city's factories. There was barely an undamaged building left in the city centre. Two hospitals, two churches and a police station were also among the damaged buildings. Approximately 600 people were killed (the precise death toll has never been established) and more than 1,000 were injured.
