Shadow Factories

In Summer 2013, Coventry Transport Museum will be throwing the spotlight on the ‘Shadow Factories’ which were built to help with the war effort during World War II. A new exhibition entitled ‘War Effort’ will tell the story of how the UK motor industry contributed to wartime production, and we are looking for people who worked in the motor industry during that time.

If this is you, or someone you know, please use the Coventry Memories website to tell us their story, and we may be in touch to find out more


 

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.
