brummy_tracy Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Originally posted by Lostrider You are right, I lived on Sheffield Road at the time, above Baumforths shop. I was at work when it happened but I heard the Bang in Sheffield City Centre. The house opposite ours, overlooking the opencast site had some windows blown out. An old chap opposite us, had his windows blown out and his bed collapse with him in it. Any idea what year it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostrider Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Originally posted by brummy_tracy Any idea what year it was? Well I moved there in June 1975 and left in April 1979 so somewhere in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that time in Killamarsh, yet you still seem to have kept your sanity. You were lucky to escape untarnished. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were lucky to escape untarnished. :hihi: Well not totaly untarnished, I ended up back again in1987 and left again in 1991 (bought and sold two houses in that time) moved next door but one on the same road (identical house) dont ask why. Anyway I should be ready for another return soon! I never moved far away though, I,m on my 8th house now and have only ever spent my married life living in Killamarsh ,Halfway, Eckington & Mosborough.

LisaMarie Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 None of you are imagining it. The bomb was dicovered on the open cast (Shand) they were about to put it on my Dads truck when it was identified as a bomb. It was detinated at about 6o'clock that night.

Sure i remember it going off around lunchtime,could be wrong though,i was outside the newsagents on charnock at the time,and vividly remember the shop window shaking,think it must have been in the school hols also,for me to be outside the shop at the time. Could be wrong though,it was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
