During the war, mother took us kiddies to Sheffield on the bus, don鈥檛 know what year it was but we all had a mug of tea and something to eat in the bus driver canteen on Pond Street. We may have gone to visit my dad鈥檚 sister who lived in Sheffield, we were standing on a road bridge with tall iron sides, I heard people saying that a bomb had been dropt during the night raid. I asked a soldier with his tin hat hanging from his back if he would lift me up so that I could have a look, which he did, looking down on lots of railway line I thought I had had seen a white ambulance at the site.
We never got to my dad鈥檚 sister鈥檚 house that day, it must have been due to the bomb damage.

I have since worked in Sheffield in the Pond Street area and still cannot figure out exactly where that bomb struck to this day.
