Talk by Robyn Lloyd Hughes

Robyn Lloyd Hughes tells the tale of how air bases in the area were supplied with their most important cargo during World War II. Under the cover of darkness during the war, Britain’s railway network kept American bomber bases in East Anglia supplied with bombs and fuel. Sudbury and Long Melford stations played vital roles in handling the dangerous cargo bound for bases in Sudbury and Lavenham.
