A TALK about the Greenock Blitz is being held to mark the 85th anniversary of the devastating air raids.
It is being delivered by Vincent Gillen, learning, outreach and engagement officer at the Watt Institution and takes place on Wednesday 6 May at 2.30pm in the Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock.
Around 350 German bombers targeted Greenock on the nights of 6 and 7 May 1941 killing 271 people. Thousands more were injured and some 5,000 local homes were destroyed.
The event is free but places should be booked online in advance.
