Description: | The Hammersmith Civil Defence Organisation issued this Blackout infringement warning form. The form notifies the householder that, in contravention of the Lighting (Restrictions) Order 1939, a light was visible shining from their premises. It comes with a caution that, if repeated, the householder would be liable to a ��500 fine or a maximum penalty of 2 years in prison.
The warning refers to the enforced Blackout of buildings and streets during the Second World War. The Blackout was intended to hinder enemy bomber planes from identifying targets. Strict enforcement of Blackout regulations by local air-raid wardens was unpopular with sections of the public. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | London at War Home and Family | Temporal: | 1939-1945 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
