=================================================

My address during the Blitz was in Southend Place on the Wybourn Estate, commonly known as the aeroplane. During the Blitz, the usual procedure was that my mother would call us in from playing, make us put on our siren suit, then we would go into the Anderson Shelter where we would stay until the following morning. No bombs fell near us but we could hear and feel the blasts of the one that was falling on the City Centre.

This was a very frightening time in life and will stay in my memory for all of my life.
