I was born two years after the war,in the centre of Swansea City.Then,of course it was "Swansea Town",but with a very important docks area...The center of Swansea,had a three day blitz.Anyway,when I was growing up,The bombed buildings were my,and the rest of the chilndren`"playground".We knew nothing else.It was "normal".We played amoungst the broken bricks,the empty gun shells,(well,usually empty)and the occasional "Big Bomb",including unexploded.
The Swansea Museum,about 150 yard from where I lived was straffed with bullets from German aircraft on a number of occassions...I lived right next door to St.Davids School,and the buildings 10 yards away were flatened..(yummy yummy another playground!!!).In fact,our "playgrounds" were still there for about 12-15 years after.It was only when our houses were demolished in 1963,that we found out that playgrounds Weren`t bombed buildings....What a relief..
But...... Never Let Us Forget!!!!! and give thanks to those brave men and women (My mother worked in a war factory in Swansea,that made the casing for our shells)who laid down their lives for our present, our futures and our childrens futures..Let us remember,and continue to learn from it..
Yours Sincerely...Terry Garrington.
