History of Hull: The Decoy Docks

During World War 2, the city of Hull, being a major port, was targeted heavily by German bombing raids. This episode, we take a look at the brilliant attempt to distract the German bombers from the city with a giant optical illusion! If you're anything like me, viewing historical Ordnance Survey maps side by side with modern satellite views will certainly eat up far too much of your time! https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/index...
