| Description | During World War II, the British Government encouraged townships to 'adopt' a Royal Navy war ship through the National Savings Campaign. The community would be set a savings target to raise enough money to provide for the cost of building a particular naval ship - in Prescot's case, £210,000 - and this photograph, taken by K.G. Hunt of Prescot, shows Mr. Stanley Gardner painting a poster for Prescot's 'Warship Week' campaign |
