Wartime in The Pallion

I was born in Scotland in 1936 through my who came from Wallsend. I have memories of the north east, my father's sister lived in the Pallion in the 1940s. We used to visit during the war, sleeping on mattresses on the floor. My aunt was Annie Mckinnell and I have a memory of a bomb dropping nearby which shook our house. I am 73 now and live in Kent. I have met Pallion people here who remember that, so Sunderland WAS bombed. I wasn't dreaming.

A memory of Sunderland in Tyne and Wear shared on Friday, 12th June 2009.
