Two houses in Maud Street were hit by a bomb, I think that they were Nos 2 & 4. The houses were rebuilt about 1949. A number of nearby houses were also demolished with a number of people killed and there was much surrounding blast damage, including to our own home. Alan Vickers.

"Sunderland in the Blitz", by Sunderland Council, lists all the streets in Sunderland where causalities were reported, either deaths or injuries. Maud Street is listed as is Azelea Terrace South, but not Azelia Avenue. In all 34,000 houses were damaged, (over 1,000 of which were totally lost) this represents no less than 90% of the total number of dwellings in the borough. The damage at Maud Street was caused, on Sunday 16th May 1943, by a parachute mine which landed in the front garden of 88/90 Atkinson Road, near the junction with Rosedale Terrace. These house were demolished along togther with 84 and 86. Ten people were killed including Robert Goldsmith (54) of Maud Street.
