Dartford Museum was visited by the stars of a Second World War drama that is heading for Dartford next month.

The cast of Lotty’s War stopped by today to look at the 1940s artefacts, including gas masks, wartime food and recipe book, a bomb and a piece of V2 rocket which exploded locally.

Museum curator Dr Mike Still showed the actors Mark Letheren (Wire in the Blood, Casualty, The Bill), Olivia Hallinan (Lark Rise to Candleford, Sugar Rush, Girls in Love) and Adam Gillen (Benidorm, Fresh Meat, Prisoners Wives) around.

Lotty’s War is at the Orchard Theatre from Tuesday, November 4, until Saturday, November 8.
