AN exhibition about how Bromsgrove was affected during the Second World War has started at the town's museum.

It is the coming together of a year-long project involving local people and their memories.

Bromsgrove's war exhibition started at Bromsgrove Museum, Birmingham Road, on May 14 and will run for a month.

The exhibition will later be held at the Avoncroft Museum of Historical Buildings and Bromsgrove Library later in the year. It is also hoped other venues will accept the display for a short period to enable as many people to see it as possible.

Visitors will be able to see artefacts from the war and hear stories from the period first hand.
