"She was in the Women's Air Force - I'm pretty sure she's the girl in the picture but there's no way of knowing for sure. Her nephews were the only relatives alive that were on her family tree."
During World War II, the Littlewoods building was requisitioned by the government and became the home of the postal censorship department, inspecting mail to prevent the risk of sensitive information crossing enemy lines. It was later used as a centre of manufacturing Halifax bomber parts. The site is set to be converted into one of the country's biggest TV and film studios. The Littlewoods Project plans to cement the city’s reputation as an international hub for film and TV production.
