On 24th March 1943 Ashford experienced the worst single air-raid, in terms of death and injury, to occur in Kent during the Second World War. 52 people died as a direct result of the day’s events, with three times as many injured.

Ed Adams, author of Ashford at War, will present a comprehensive account of those three minutes of horror, together with an analysis of the causes and consequences, and many rare and unseen photographs which include comparisons of scenes as they were then and are now.
