VE Day 80 Exhibition

Thank You for joining us at the VE Day 80 Exhibition!

A big thank you to everyone who came along to our VE Day 80 exhibition on Saturday. We were delighted to welcome a steady stream of visitors throughout the day—many of whom stayed for quite some time, engaging with the detailed information on our display boards and watching the visual presentations.
The maps showing where bombs fell around Billericay sparked particular interest among our younger residents. It helped bring the historical context to life, especially when they could see just how close some of the bombs landed to where they live today!

Feedback on the exhibition was overwhelmingly positive, ranging from “it was great” to more enthusiastic praise. One visitor described it as “an amazingly detailed and professionally crafted exhibition.”

Cllr Devlin, wearing his Community Archive hat, also gained new insights from conversations with local families. A number of residents with relatives named on the War Memorial left with a deeper understanding of their family’s wartime history.
Thank you once again to everyone who supported and contributed to this commemorative event—it was a truly meaningful day for our community.
