Description: | On the night of April 9th 23.25hrs. to 04.30hrs. on the morning of 10th April 1941, 2 bombs were dropped on Clivedon (Clyveden) Rise. Then came a shower of incendiaries, an estimate of 6,000 fell in the Tyne Dock area throught the centre of town and over the Mile End Road, River Drive and Wapping Street district.
It soon became clear that a full scale attack was developing and directed mainly at the ship building, ship repair and timber yards on the river.
