March 1945, ~10 Dead
Comment from reader Graham Rogers" "It landed on Dillerways the bakery killing around 10 I was told."
Comment from reader Mikanmon: "My grandfather lived at No 1 Lichfield Road and had stayed home from work unwell that day in March 1945. He was sleeping in the armchair with his Cocker Spaniel on his lap when the blast hit. It took rescuers and family over 15 hours to find him and dig him out, still alive. The family put his survival down to his loyal canine absorbing some of the impact from falling debris. I was 8 years old at the time and my mother told me that it was impossible to seperate the streets as the whole area was a mass of rubble."
