Share your memories of Brighton Blitz
6:30am Tuesday 15th January 2013 in News
Do you remember the Brighton Blitz? Or have members of your family shared their memories and pictures with you?
Next week The Argus will produce a special supplement remembering when bombs rained down on the town during World War II.
A map pinpointing the location of every wartime explosion will also be published online.
If you have memories of that terrifying time, we would like to hear from you.
All knowledge or pictures of a city bomb site will be added to the map.
To get in touch call 01273544531 or email bill.gardner@theargus.co.uk.

Is Brighton the only town in Sussex which was bombed and why only the Blitz (winter 1940-41) and not the rest of the war?

There is still no indication if the project includes bombings that might have taken place before or after the period of time that is generally regarded as "The Blitz".
