Take a closer look at the roles of women and how they experienced the war and the post-war period. The exhibition also looks at the changes the peace brought\, how people celebrated VE and VJ Day\, what happened when the soldiers returned home\, and how a decision taken in 1945 changed the face of the town with the coming of the ‘Atomics’. \nFrom 4th October to 23rd December 2025\n \n \nPlease join us for the final talk of the Museum’s WWII history series ‘1945 -The End of the Third Reich’ presented by BBC Radio Nottingham’s History Advisor Gareth Howell .\n \nPlease book your tickets at the Museum Reception\nor online at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/abingdon-museum  \nFriday 7th November at 7pm.\nLocation: The Roysse Room\, Bridge Street\, Abingdon.
