A project to create a legacy to the Sheffield Blitz has been unveiled at a city landmark that was flattened in the Luftwaffe attacks of WW2.
Department store Atkinsons, which was razed on the evening of 12/13 December 1940, has been unveiled as the gateway to the Sheffield Blitz Heritage Trail. The trail brings to life the Blitz stories of 12 city sites through a combination of interpretation signboards, mobile phone app and a book.
