Summary
American Embassy Representative Opens New Youth Hostel- Life at Burgage Manor Youth Hostel, Southwell, Nottinghamshire, England, UK, 1944
Mr and Mrs Barnes, wardens of the new youth hostel at Burgage Manor, Southwell, greet Mr and Mrs Leslie Walters (centre) upon arrival at the hostel. The original caption states that Mr Walters is a coal miner from Nottingham and that he and his wife first met at a youth hostel. The notice on the front door announces the official opening of the hostel on Saturday 22 July 1944 at 5pm. It also states that "Visitors are invited to join a Conducted Inspection of the Hostel following the Opening", and that there will be "photography by Ministry of Information".
The UK Ministry of Information was established in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II. It was responsible for coordinating and controlling all government information and propaganda, both within the UK and abroad. The Ministry of Information was created to help the government communicate with the public and to ensure that important information was disseminated effectively. It was also responsible for managing the media and censoring certain types of information that might be harmful to morale or national security. The Ministry of Information played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during the war, and it worked closely with other government departments to develop and implement a range of propaganda campaigns. The Ministry of Information was dissolved in 1946, following the end of World War II.
