This special publication marks the 70th anniversary of the May blitz, when the Luftwaffe rained bombs, land mines and incendiary devices on Liverpool. Houses, office buildings, shops, warehouses and the dockyards were flattened in an attempt to paralyse the city. Famous landmarks such as Castle Street, the Lewis's building, Bluecoat Chambers and Liverpool Museum were left severely damaged. Featuring stunning images from the Liverpool Echo archive, Mersey Blitz takes you back to a 17-month period between August 1940 and January 1942 when the Nazis targeted the city. The region was devastated but the spirit of its people could not be broken. Priced just GBP3.99, this 84-page magazine is packed with remarkable stories and pictures demonstrating our city's unbeatable spirit.
