Coleshill House & Churchill's Underground Army

Within this listing are leaflets and notes on a tour of Coleshill's secret under ground cells that were used by the resistance fighters. Labelled modern day as Churchill's Underground Army, this is a story of preparation for an invasion by the Germans, covered by complete secrecy until many years after the war.
