The Hitchin British Schools Trust will use a grant to create an exhibition that centres around the experience of evacuees during the War, aimed primarily at local schools. The first component of this would be a replica of a wartime classroom with period artefacts and detailing. The second element would consist of a replica air raid shelter in the basement of the building. This will all form the basis for the museums WW2 exhibition that relates to the wartime experiences of British children.
