Fortunately the tenants, their daughter, son in law, baby grand-daughter and the dog were safely in the bomb shelter and were dug out of the ruins.<BR/><BR/>No 33 was on the bend in the lower part of the road.<BR/><BR/>There was another bombsite halfway down. All the houses that side of the road were demolished and replaced a few years ago. I don't know why they were knocked down and the rest of the road 'spared'<BR/><BR/>Neither of these bombs were V1 or V2, they were too early in the war.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262321380420408314.post-77869839414773754652007-09-30T01:15:00.000+01:002007-09-30T01:15:00.000+01:00If it wasn't for those pesky Nazis, Harold Gibbons...If it wasn't for those pesky Nazis, Harold Gibbons Court on Victoria Way wouldn't exist now - that was a V1 hit as well.<BR/><BR/>There's a very good reference book, cunning called "History of Charlton" (I think), in the council's history centre at the Royal Arsenal that's got a wealth of stuff like that in.Inspector Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995788811195103429noreply@blogger.com
