My Grandmother was originally from Wakefield in Yorkshire, but moved as a little girl to Wallsey with her parents.
When married my Grandmother and Grandfather lived in a terraced house in the Poulton area of Wallasey - Mostyn Street - which was most mostly destroyed by a Nazi bomb.

My Grandmother recalled that the house next door but one to thiers was completely flattened by a night raid and that they were left miraculously untouched by the devestation.
In fact, my Grandmother said that the remains of the bomb was to be found in the debris.
What an escape!
Of course, the whole of Mostyn Street is long since gone and the site is part of the site forming the Wallasey to Liverpool tunnel.
As a footnote to this incredible story - years later I discovered that my husbands parents also lived in Mostyn Street at the time of that awful night's raid.
