I am a" Sand Grown Un" as the call Morecambe born people,but as I was not born until 1934 my experience and recollection of the wartime in Bradford by the sea is limited.The War years covered my primary school days at Sandylands School and I do not recall feeling over affected by the war.
Of course I remember rationing but I suspect that the standard of living for us and I think for many working class families was better during the war years than in the pre-war days.
I remember brick and concrete Air raid shelters in strategic positions in the streets and in the school playground and I remember air raid drill at school,gas masks and the blackouts.
I remember occasional air raid alarms but they were usually false although the port of Heysham and the smell of the ICI complex at Middleton just South of Heysham were potential targets.I think two houses in Higher Heysham
