Audio tour Summary
WALK THE STORIES OF HULL'S WARTIME PAST
Between 1939 and 1945 thousands of people across Hull were drawn into the Second World War, as soldiers, nurses, firefighters, evacuees, war workers and more. Eighty-six air raids on the city from June 1940 to March 1945 brought terror and tragedy home to thousands more.
Discover the story of the Hull Blitz through the people and places that experienced it, using a self-guided walking trail.

Disappointing. Doesn't seem to have a spoken commentary so you have to stop and squint at the text on your phone at each location.
