Walking Wartime England on SBS – Former Royal Marine Arthur Williams walks across Britain to learn about World War II, including details of women who became spies, teenagers who went down the mines, and inventors who created new weapons used in the conflict.
Series One, Episode Six: South Wales
On this walk, Arthur is in South Wales, the industrial heartland of wartime Britain. Arthur starts his walk in the Welsh capital Cardiff, whose port was vital to shipping coal, steel, and food across Britain. Initially out of range of the Luftwaffe, the fall of France led to heavy bombing. In Jubilee Street, Arthur finds evidence of the bombing lottery, with half the road intact and the other missing.
