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 and 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.

Booking is required, please email archives@hes.scot to reserve your place.

The talk will be in-person and available online.

Limited free parking available at John Sinclair House.
