So very sad and really just a moment in time!

 

[fletch1939]

This is a late post but is there anyone who (or had relatives) lived in Long Street Sparkbrook? We (Fletchers) lived there until Jerry dropped a land mine which flattened our house along with others. Mom (along with my elder sister Marion and brother George) had been evacuated to Evesham to give birth to me on 24/12/1939, ten days later we returned to Long St. The bombing must have been very late 1940 or early 1941. We were in a shelter and were uninjured, temporarily housed in Moodyscroft Rd Lea Village the permanently at 58 Lea Ford Road Lea Village. Needless to say I have no recollection of the event.

 

[Astoness]

you were very lucky to be in the shelter as looking at the records there was a few deaths and injuries in long st..
