Post-War Edinburgh

Discover Edinburgh as it was being rebuilt following the Second World War.

Using archive material which documents aspects of Edinburgh during the 1940s & 50s, we'll have a look at life in the city as it recovered in aftermath of World War Two. In these years much new housing was needed for the growing population. Rationing remained for some time but there was growing hope, as the capital began to boom.

After the talk visitors to John Sinclair House will be able to view archive material and books related to the subject.

The talk will be in-person and also available online via Zoom (booking essential).

Limited free parking available at John Sinclair House.

Please note: There are no more spaces to attend this event in-person at John Sinclair House, but you can still contact archives@hes.scot to book a space to view the talk online via Zoom.
