There were lots of re-enactments, displays, exhibitions and #vintage vehicles, with many from the Forever Forties re-enactment group, at Forge Mill Museum's 1940s event, 2016.
A fashion exhibition featured vintage sewing patterns, sewing basket and Second World War clothing.
There was a WWII Tea Wagon, wartime music was performed throughout the day,(really enjoyed 'Summertime' and 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square')
a Special Operations Executive (SOE) display featuring French Resistance re-enactors, and also a spy suitcase radio with top secret documents. With sunny weather, and lots of costumed Home Front and Military re-enactors to transport us back in time this really was an event to remember!
