Hi John,
I remember the bomb peck between Wilkinson Street and Miller Street, the Germans must have been aiming for Millers and the factories in Bracebridge Street and Aston Brook Street.
We played there many times, I wonder if there was a factory on that site as we discovered lots of objects that looked like cuff links, one side was
coloured enamel and the other had the word "gilt" stamped on it. In our
ignorance we confused gilt with guilt and thought the police would be after
us if we took them home!!!
There were also bomb pecks in New Street on both sides of the road, and
also in Whitehouse Street, a friend of mine was staying with her grandma
in Alma Street and although only about 3 years old remembers her gran
carrying her to the shelter when the bomb fell as it was just behind their house.
