Wartime Bristol
A Memory of Hallen.
Born in Avonmouth in 1931 my earliest memories are living in Hallen and collecting firewood at a pub being demolished in the village, there was a military camp nearby protecting a substantial underground fuel tank storage site. Next we moved to Ison Hill where several other family members had neighbouring council houses, on warning of air raids my parents would drive the family in an Austin 7 to Blaise castle and join others to sleep in the basement. One night we were shaken by an “oil bomb” narrowly missing the house, back home in the morning to get ready for school, at Henbury.
