Notes:
This book describes the everyday difficulties and dangers faced by Southdown and those living and working in its area in the South East during the Second World War. It is not just about the buses and coaches but includes details of the devastating air raids that affected the coastal towns. The imposition at various times of Defence Areas, Curfews and Visitor Bans all brought major changes to everyday life including the provision of bus services. It covers not only the effect on the company but also the effects on the areas it served.
