History talks

Hugh Frostick offers a number of illustrated talks which have seen demand from U3A, Probus, Rotary and local history groups.

Current talks available are:

"Churchill's Secret Army in North East Essex" read more...
"Special Operations Executive - Britain’s Agents in France 1940-1945" read more...
"Wartime in the Tendring Hundred" read more...
"A childhood in occupied Amsterdam" read more...
Coming soon - "The Tales of Peter Potter" (late 2025)

Talks are usually about 50 mins, and questions always welcome.

"Just to say thank you for a really interesting talk to our group. All that I have spoken with were very impressed with the information and your enthusiasm on the matter. I will certainly be asking you back for another of your topics."

Kelvin, Clacton-on-Sea Probus
