I was just a wee 4 year old on blitz night . My Mum had taken me to the Forum picture house in Herries Road to see " Woman in the window" starring a rather sinister James Mason. Half way through the film it was stopped because of the air raid and we were asked to file quietly out and go to our alloted air raid shelter. About 1000 people quietly left the cinema. Can you imagine that today ? We walked down the centre of Herries Road in total darkness to our communal shelter at the corner of Parkwood Road. From there we could see across the Parkwood Springs fields to where the city centre was ablaze. We spent the night in the shelter and I remember the grownups singing songs all night to keep our collective spirits up. In my innocence at the time I had no fear until we got back home the next morning to find our front door had been blasted off its hinges and lay halfway up the stairs. One tiny piece of glass from the door was broken and for some reason that sparked off my tears. Funny what you remember as a child isnt it ?
