| Description | The correspondence was originally stored in a file entitled 'Air Raid Precautions & Old Meeting Church. Correspondence re Warden's Post', which was removed for conservation purposes. The correspondence and papers relate to the occupation of the church by the Birmingham City Council Air Raid Precautions Department during the Second World War. The file includes correspondence, bills and accounts to the Birmingham City Council Air Raid Precautions and Civil Defence Departments for the use of the church buildings for civil defence purposes during the Second World War, including rent charges and other costs paid by the department to the church. An Air Raid Warden's Post was established at the church, referred to as 'Post A.7.B' in the papers. |
