Street party in Birch road, Higher Crumpsall, Manchester to celebrate VJ Day
Street party in Birch road, Higher Crumpsall, Manchester to celebrate VJ Day.
Picture shows a lady on the left in a white coat, possibly called Mrs Penicud (note to editors **** hand written caption hard to read***). She had received news that her son, James, was safe and well and in Japanese hands. She had originally been told he was missing. So, lots of celebrate on this VJ day. Behind one side of
the brick walls are the massive air raid shelters used by
the residents of Birch Road.
VJ Day, Victory over Japan Day is the day on which Imperial Japan surrendered in World War II, in effect bringing the war to an end.
Picture taken 15th August 1945
