Lens shares his memories of Wellingborough being bombed on Bank Holiday Monday when a German bomber
Description
Len Warner born 1927.My brother was a engine driver. He had passed the eleven plus but mum couldn't pay for his uniform. As he had always dreamt of becoming a train driver he wasn't disappointed about not having a grammar school education. I used to cycle for the ARP in Wellingborough. The unit was based behind what is now Wellingborough library. I clearly remember the Bank Holiday Monday when a German bomber dropped a bomb in Market Street. Four women and two men and one boy were killed and 55 injured.
I soon realised that despite the sadness of the children being away from their families it was an amazingly happy place.
