I used to live in Moss Side in Manchester when I was about ten; up to the age of six; I remember quite vividly actually.
My grandmother used to take us into town once a week, usually on a Saturday.
I remember this one Saturday, the bus came and the conductor said it would be another half hour plus because we had to go on a round about route as the Dunlop Tyre factory had been bombed.
Thought no more about it because on the way back, the road had been re-opened.
There was total devastation.
But within a week the Dunlop factory was up and running and the railway was repaired.
The Shelters always saved us.
Even now we frequently go back up to Manchester, I say to my wife that used to be so and so.
My grandmother used to say it was wrong for the German bombers coming back over Manchester from Liverpool to jettison any remaining bombs.
