I worked at Boots on Station Street during the war. I used to put together gas masks, I was a Charcol Filler — filling in the gas mask containers. The masks were horrible to put on, we also used to have to have ID cards then too. I’ve still got my gas masks.
There were raids when we were at Boots, we used to go into the air raid shelters, there were lots of us in there and it was scary.
