We had a positive shower of incendiary bombs in and around the Richmond Street allotments. The then vicar of St. Andrews was in there with me and he picked up what he thought was a sandbag and plonked it on a smouldering bomb. It was, in fact, a bag of manure and he almost gassed the whole population of Richmond St and Penkhull and the fire watchers never let him forget it.
