This story was submitted to the Peoples War site by Frances Ellison, January 7th 1941
My mum walked into town to go to the air raid shelter on the corner of White chapel with my two brothers. She went into labour though and was taken to Smithdown Road Hospital where I was born. Another woman looked after my two brothers in the shelter and took them home the next day.
We were bombed out 3 times and were eventually evacuated to Abergelle. Just before we were evacuated my mother was taking us to the shelter in the school off Durning Road it was full so we went to one near Edge Hill (Botanic Park). The Durning Road Shelter was bombed that night, everyone there was killed.
