The True Horrors Of Ww2

Thank you and welcome Illstonandrobson. We always welcome photographs from private collections to add to our understanding of a locality’s history. Do you know anymore about the bombing ? Presumably it’s WW2, but any idea of a date ? Do you know if there were fatalities ? Hopefully not.

Are you a descendant of the company ?

Many thanks. Viv.

Hi
the last Robson left in 2003 when the company was bought by Mr & Mrs Reid, the company is still in the ownership of that family now. Someone has already posted the link to our history page, sorry I don't know anything beyond this.
Thanks
Neil
