I lived very near the county cricket ground and one night nine time bombs fell on the cricket pitch. As we were so close we were evacuated to a local church hall fortunately they did not go off but they left huge holes on the cricket ground. We had many incendiary bombs fall close by and several bombs demolished near by houses. On Good Friday 1941 Bristol was blitzed and set afire. I was eight years old we had been sheltering under the stairs. My father called me to the front door. We looked over Bristol and the sky was a brilliant red. He said "I hope you never see such a sight again in your lifetime."
