IT is 60 years since the end of World War Two, and the number of people who lived during the war is slowly falling.
But Turton Tower is carrying out a special project to bridge the gap between old and young, and to make sure that life during the war is not forgotten.
Reminiscence officer Jackie Ross has been speaking to elderly people in Turton and Edgworth to find out what they experienced during the war.
The local residents include an evacuee, a munitions factory inspector, a Home Guard volunteer, and someone who worked at Bletchley Park intercepting messages from Germany in Morse code.
She has also visited Turton and Edgworth Primary School to discuss the war and its impact on everyday life with the pupils. The project will reach its finale on Friday, when the children will meet the elderly people at Turton Tower.
They will also sing wartime songs, eat food made using wartime recipes.
