My mother was also bombed out of Hodder Drive by the landmine however her memory for the date is not so good, so can you tell me the month and year please?
She seems to think it was early 1941 but there are no records of bombings in Perivale in 41! Bye the way, she moved just around the corner to Barmouth Avenue, where she still lives today, aged 93.
