Blitz and Pieces
Blitz and Pieces is a museum in Scratby in Great Yarmouth owned and operated by Darren Stride. Based on the British Home Front during World War II and the popular BBC comedy ''Dad's Army'', the museum is housed in a 1940s prefabricated building, a 1930s wooden military hut and a variety of large sheds. In 2014 the museum was a finalist in Channel 4's ''Shed of the Year'' series.〔('Shed of The Year finalists revealed' - Channel 4 Press Release - 16 July 2014 )〕〔('Don't panic Mr Mainwaring: Teenager turns shed into shrine to Dad's Army TV heroes' - ''Daily Mail'' - 11 June 2011 )〕〔('Shed of the Year' 2014 Finalists - ''The Independent'' )〕 The museum is open to the public by appointment.
==Origins of the museum==
Stride's interest in the 1940s began as a small boy when he watched repeats of the popular BBC comedy ''Dad's Army'' with his late grandfather, John Fenton, who had served as a private in the real Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment during World War II, the regiment that the Home Guard platoon in ''Dad's Army'' was based on.〔('Teen builds Dad’s Army shrine in shed' - ''Daily Mail'' - 31 May 2007 )〕 Before his death in 2001 he gave his grandson his service medals, which started the collection.〔〔( 'Teen builds Dad’s Army shrine in shed' - ''Metro'' - 13 June 2011 )〕
Many of the items in the collection were donated by members of the public or by visitors to the museum. The display in the period chemist's shop was acquired from the Yesterday's World attraction in Great Yarmouth following its closure in 2014.
