About the book:
Sheffielders largely ignored the 7pm air raid sirens on Thursday, December 12, 1940.
They'd grown accustomed to the alarms, they’d nearly all been false.
But tonight was set to be one like no other as hundreds of German bombers headed towards the city.
Sheffield’s pubs, cinemas, hotels and theatres were packed to the rafters as the population put thoughts of the war behind them and decided to start to celebrate Christmas in earnest.
City centre shopping institutions like Atkinsons, Cockaynes, Walsh’s, Redgates, C&A Modes and Marks & Spencer were decked out in festive finery despite the continued air of menace.
As the all clear signal rang out at 4.17am the following morning great swathes of the city centre had been utterly destroyed; hundreds were dead and dying and bombs had been dropped across the entire city, killing indiscriminately.
The shock and devastation of the first night had hardly begun to sink in before the bombers returned three night’s later.
The Sheffield Blitz left over 2,000 citizens killed or injured and 40,000 homeless in the devastating two-night raid. The attacks changed the face of the city forever.
'Sheffield's Date With Hitler' became the catalyst for a massive campaign to remember the sacrifices made by the people of the city in World War Two.
Widely recognised as the most comprehensive book ever written on the Sheffield Blitz.

Let customers speak for us
Bought as a gift for my partner, couldn’t resist as we both spent many a happy hour in the Barrel Organ. He absolutely loves it. T-shirt & print are great quality, great price too. Would highly recommend this fab shop! Thank you 🙏
Good quality and full of great info of that era
Limit anniversary (blue logo) ladies fit T-shirt - various colours
A welcome reminder of Birmingham in the early to mid 80’s. I would like a follow book with more paragraphs/chapters dedicated to the Nightclubs and Pubs of the era. More random photos to go along with them. I played in a band, so the Barrel Organ,The Railway were gigs to aspire too, in Birmingham. The historic Barton Arms,Fighting Cox,Red Lion Kings Heath,49 era and the Junction in Harborne, need to be remembered and recognised more fully. The Tower Ballroom and The Irish Centre for meeting people and more..
Sad not to find a mention
A welcome slice of nostalgia!
Great book. Everything I was hoping it would be. Great customer service too. Perfect thank you.
The memories it brought back were fantastic.
A+
Not only are these books entertaining, but they're also educational. I learned so much about the history of Birmingham's nightlife. Perfect for both young and old
As a music lover, this bundle is gold. It covers the rise of so many bands and the venues that supported them. A real insight into Birmingham's music scene back in the day.
