===================================================
I was eight years old and living just off Penistone Road in Sheffield. I remember the Blitz On the Friday night. The bombers came and bombed the gas tanks just across the River don from where I lived. It was very frightening. The next morning, my dad took me into town to see the damage. We walked all the way into the centre of Sheffield, along Penistone Road, over Hillfoot Bridge, along Neepsend and into the centre of the city. Some buildings were still blazing and others were smoking. Fire engines were everywhere. That is a scene I will never forget.
