War Time
A Memory of Sunderland.
For anyone who may have any doubts about Sunderland being bombed put it to rest. I was born in 1935 in Hendon. I vividly recall the day war was declared September 3rd 1939 (my birthday). The next five years were spent in the air raid shelter in the back yard or curled up under the stairs. The bombers blew the hell out of every where except what they were aiming for (the dockyards). Every morning we would go around the streets looking for shrapnel (bomb fragments), and checking to see if they had hit the school, which unfortunately they never did. So put your mind at rest.
