Bombs Near Grych Castle

From The Park 1890
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Together with my mother and brother, we lived in Sandy Cove, near Rhyl during the Second World War, to escape the bombing in London. One night in, I think, 1944, I was awakened by some noises and my mother came to get me. By looking out of the living room window we could see that the German bombers had jettisoned their bombs onto the woods surrounding Grych Castle. The whole hillside was ablaze, turning night into day. German bombers used to regularly fly over us in order to bomb the docks and the city of Liverpool.
