I lived in Church Road by shops behind the cricket ground. Hob Mob school was bombed, so I was off school for a year! Guns were on the recreation ground which was hit by a bomb. One man missing and one leg of another man was found. They put this in with another fella, so he went off with 3 legs in his coffin. We used to get a trolleybus into the city and one day we saw a german aircraft shooting down a barrage balloon. My sister was coming down Coventry road one day and the flames were joining across the road and the shops were on fire.
