So far as I can remember, Loughborough had no direct air raids, although there was a fair amount of industry there. On one occasion there was a warning, and I remember hiding under the kitchen table (a light, pine construction) which made us feel safe. There was one Big Bang, and we later heard that a German bomber, returning home from a raid, had jettisoned bombs in Tucker鈥檚 Brickyard claypit a short distance away.
