crookedspire Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Oddly enough in the history section someone wanted to know where the bombs fell in WW2 we have three more locations to add. I bet their is more given the fact works like Heathcotes were in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandma was born on Arundel Street in 1915. Not sure what year they moved though. Strange to look now and imagine housing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-37496466 3 WW2 bombs apparantly It's highly unlikely any WW2 bombs were found as the roads would have been closed for far longer than a couple of hours. Does anyone know the story of what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
