The Sheffield Blitz Memorial Trail has received eighty one thousand three hundred pounds from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Sheffield author, Neil Anderson, began working on the plans to commemorate the Sheffield Blitz with the publication of his book, ‘Sheffield’s Date with Hitler’ in 2010. Now, the 75th anniversary in December is set to be marked with an exhibition and trail around sixteen sites across the city. The Sheffield Blitz in December 1940 made almost a tenth of the city’s population homeless. Sheffield Live’s Kathryn Smiles went along to speak to Neil Anderson about the trail and the funding.
