Britain's What's On Event Guide
Cresswell Battles for Britain
Heritage Open Day: Join us in discovering the many roles played by ordinary people during wartime, those ordinary heroes of the home front and learn about our home-grown Hero, who played a key part in cracking the German Code. The Northeast seldom appears in any of the war films, but it played a huge part in WW2.
With a potential site for Axis landings, local training bases for pilots, ships built on the Tyne and post-war internment sites, there is a lot of wartime history nearby but hidden.
Indeed, our own, tiny village, can lay claim to one of those events that Hollywood tried to emulate, and the leading star in capturing the Enigma Machine, described by King George as the single most important naval engagement of the war.
