Saw on the news just now that the Nottingham 'blitz' took place in the early hours 80 years ago today. They showed footage of the damage to the Co-op on Meadow Lane. Does anyone have any family memories of that night? My dad's no longer here to ask, but I know he spent every air raid sheltering under the kitchen table at their house on Meadow Lane.
Difficult to imagine what that night was like though the eyes of a child as the bombs fell. I do know that he got into terrible trouble for picking up an incendiary bomb that had fallen in their yard and hiding it in a drawer in the bedroom
