Imagine being able to peel back the layers of London’s history all the way to the Roman period, and explore interactively – wherever you are – the story of London’s remarkable, diverse and sometimes turbulent history over 2,000 years and its evolution into the city it is today.
A Hornsey lad, David Evans was a 10-year-old schoolboy in 1939, and when the war finished he was 16 years old. He recalls his experience of the evacuation, returning to the bombing of London, plus VE Day, and the 50th anniversary celebrations of VE Day. This is a 5 minute clip from the DVD.
David has made this film for his grandchildren to tell them what it was like in the Second World War, and has managed to record his experiences with some unique footage.
