We used to go on holiday to my uncle’s in Willaston during the war. The Germans used to regularly come to try to bomb Crewe. They couldn’t get near Crewe for barrage balloons, but one night they dropped the bombs — which were high explosive devices — which landed within a group of trees — one of these trees was transplanted and landed on the other side of the brook. As far as I know the trees are still there to this day!
