Town Hall Bombing During The Second World War

During the Second World War my mother lived in a flat opposite the Town Hall, above Partington's. She had been suffering with a very bad cold and had been recommended a cure that involved consuming rather more alcohol than she was accustomed to. Apparently she used to look out of the window each morning at the Town Hall clock, to check the time. The morning after the night before, she attempted her usual ploy, only to find that the clock tower had disappeared during the night. The Germans had bombed the Town Hall and my mother had slept right through the entire episode.
