  • The end of a bright summers day in Norfolk, the on going war seemed far away, little did anyone know that single bomber had found a hole in the countries defences and was about to rain death over the city. The 1st of many to do so.

    This is a very interesting video and the presentation is excellent. I had no idea we had such raids in Norwich though my mum did speak of one around Gresham Road. I do remember growing up in the 80s the air raid siren at West Earlham would sometimes be heard, no doubt because we were in the middle of the Cold War

    Our house in Overbury Road unfortunately had an aircraft drop on it, we stayed with my grand mother for a while we returned to Norwich and lodged with a very nice lady on Denis Avenue, Hellesdon, one night we had urgent knocking on the door, the ladies Husband who was a fireman had an emergency call out, when we looked across to the city it was just amass of flame, a sight I have never forgotten, I am 86 now

    Very interesting as my moms maiden name was Rita Burrell and she grew up near Norwich, then moved in land to Bungay to avoid the bombing. I wonder if Maud Burrell was a relative.
