ICRA logo About This Website Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional Valid CSS

This website has been created by the Bath Blitz Memorial Project to provide a historical record of the bombing of Bath during the Second World War.  It aims to inform of the events of that time, and to preserve personal memories for future generations. If you have memories, photographs or information that is not already on this website, please visit the Help Us page.

The buttons at the top of each page allow navigation round the site.
Yellow buttons identify the section and subsection you are currently looking at.
Light tan buttons indicate other subsections in the current main section.
Green buttons identify other main sections.
Alternatively, the Index page gives a fuller description of the layout and content of this website.

The subsections under the Home button provide information about the Project and its activities.  All the other buttons lead to educational information about the Bath Blitz.

Links within this website normally replace the page you are reading.  Links to other websites are displayed in a separate window, which is opened the first time it is needed, and then reused for all such links until it is closed.  This site's Guest Book also appears in the second window.

About this site - Some technical notes

This site has been designed to display best at 1024x768 resolution with your browser showing web pages across the whole width of the screen.  Although most of the content will display reasonably at other resolutions, or if you are using Internet Explorer with the "Favourites" bar at the side of the screen, though some pages may not be laid out as neatly as intended.

The site is entirely constructed in HTML and uses no JavaScript except to display the count of visitors.  The bulk of the site is designed to work with any browser.  However, displaying the bombs superimposed onto map sections requires commands that were not supported before Internet Explorer 5.0 and Netscape 4.5. There are also small differences in the way different browsers interpret layout commands which may affect the appearance of some pages.

18th February 2022 Update
This update provides a new memory of the Bath blitz, provided by a lady who lived through it and is still alive in 2022.
During the pandemic restrictions of 2021, the VHS tapes held in the Bath Record Office of TV broadcasts of programmes about the war in Bath were converted by us to DVDs so that they will remain viewable on more modern equipment.

This update includes an additional book in our list of relevant books.
We have been notified that a colour film from the days after the raids, is now viewable online.
18th April 2020 Update
This update publishes the Memorial Date of Sunday 26th April 2020.  If you are planning to go past the memorial as part of your "walk for exercise" journey, please keep at least 2 metres from others who might be there, and only pause briefly from your walk.

 

 



Web Rings are sites grouped by common subject matter, which allow viewers to go from one to another using the navigation bars on each site, like that below for the WW II ring that I have joined. The Web Ring system requires that the navigation panel below appears on a site's opening page, which is why it is here. For more information on the Web Ring, see the "Links" page.
