OUR UNIVITED GUESTS

At the beginning of World War Two, thousands of houses were requisitioned to provide accommodation for the armed forces, secret services and government offices as well as vulnerable children, the sick and the elderly, all of whom needed to be housed safely beyond the reach of Hitler’s Luftwaffe. The juxtaposition of splendour and opulence with the everyday activities of people whose needs were at odds with their new surroundings is at the heart of this thought-provoking and evocative narrative.
