This story has been added to the People's War website by Age Concern Salford on behalf of the contributor with his permission. My lasting memory of the war is Tommy Market in Oldham. My family were travellers on Oldham market. I was 8 years old when a flying bomb came over. It stopped and my mother put her hands over my ears. She thought it was the end, but it started up again, carried on, only to drop on a dance hall 4 miles away, killing 60 people.
