home ||| superimposed city tours ||| Psychogeographical mapping of coincidence in Leeds and Dortmund. Drifting through superimposed narratives of two cities at once. ||| research:leeds ||| When the Second World War began, Leeds was a major centre for textiles, clothing, optics and heavy engineering. These industries were transformed to support the war effort. I'm initially presenting research about industrial production in the Miscellaneous section. Surprisingly, Leeds was subjected to very few air raids throughout the war: The city was raided by aircraft nine times, only six of which were serious. Owen A. Hartley, 'The Second World War and after' in Derek Fraser (ed), A History of Modern Leeds, P443 Damage and casualties were both low: Throughout the war 77 people were killed by bombing, 71 seriously [injured] and 249 slightly wounded by enemy action, and 7 injured by the shell fragments of the anti-aircraft defence system. Owen A. Hartley, 'The Second World War and after' in Derek Fraser (ed), A History of Modern Leeds, P443 There appears to be very little online information about Leeds during the war - I'm concentrating my research on local newspaper archives, history books and other local sources of information. Research is both presented chronologically, and focused on certain locations in the city. ||| Chronological ||| 1939 First precautionary evacuations and the introduction of ration books. more 1940 A memory of Dunkirk casualties arriving in Leeds.
