British Restaurant In North Harrow

A Memory of North Harrow.

Since I was working for the firm that built the British Restaurant in North Harrow and I lived on Westmorland Road I had a quick ride to work each morning. Once all the plumbing was done I had to go to Wealdstone to report for work. So on the morning in question I rode past the restaurant in a light blowing rain, wishing I was still working there. Suddenly I heard a rushing sound (like that of a jet engine) then a big bang. I was a Civil Defence messenger, so I turned round and rode back to find the British Restaurant had been hit bu a V1 bomb. My home only got some broken glass and tiles but the restaurant had to be rebuilt.
