A experiência

Sobre esta experiência

This Questo Discovery game takes you on a tour of Central Greenock, a town on the West Coast of Scotland and describes the days and nights of the 6th/7th May 1941 when Nazi Germany attacked it with its bombers. 

Looking at the photographs of the damage caused, you will hear stories from those that survived the attacks as well as look at how the town has changed as a result.

Your host is Vincent Gillen, a local Social Historian, who has written extensively about the Greenock Blitz and WW2.

É para si?

Para quem é

Inverclyde locals, people with Greenock family roots and WW2 enthusiasts can walk the central streets hit by the May 1941 raids, with local historian Vincent Gillen sharing survivors' stories and then-and-now damage photos. The route covers 1.5 km in around 80 minutes. Anyone after a light-hearted family outing should pick something else, as the story of bombing and loss sets a sombre tone.

Can I see pictures of the Greenock Blitz damage?
Yes. Along the route you look at photographs of the damage caused by the raids of 6 and 7 May 1941, compare them with the streets in front of you and see how the town changed as a result.
Is this a free thing to do in Greenock?
Yes, the game is free to play. You walk at your own pace with your phone, start whenever you like and can pause and carry on later, so there is no group to join and no guide to meet.
Where does the Greenock Blitz walk start and how long does it take?
It starts at Clyde Square and finishes on William Street, looping round central Greenock. Most players take around 80 minutes for the 1.5 km, including the puzzles. Temporary construction work may affect parts of the route, so allow a little extra time.
