I am looking for any listing or maps which indicate the location /site of bombs dropped in the Kings Heath,Maypole,Warstock,Billsley areas of Bham.
Any information as to were I might find it would be most helpful.

The map and list of those killed in these air raids is very interesting.
I can remember these air raids most clearly being 10 yrs old in 1940.I was living at that time with my Grand mother
at 3 School Avenue,Grove Rd,Kings Heath.Right in the middle of the hits shown,but escaped any damage.
I spent most of those nights in next doors anderson shelter,while my grand mother stopped in her own bed.
The next day I would be ridding around on my bike looking at the aftermarks
Thanks for the info
