Description: | At 21.09 hours on the evening of September 30th 1941 South Shields experienced wide spread bombing.
At the same time two bombs fell in Commercial Road; one struck the foundations or an old house on the bankside below Smith's Foundry. The other bomb hit Trinity Schools, wrecking the buildings.
At 21.20 hours a bomb fell near the Market Place, behind Crofton's warehouses. The roadway at the entrance to Union Alley from the Market Place was completely blocked by the large crater and debris as can be seen in this photo as well as a roll of carpet which came from Crofton's warehouse. | Format: | IMAGE/JPEG | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | South Tyneside Libraries | Rights holder: | Flagg Amy Celia | Subjects: | War World Two | Source: | South Tyneside Images | Identifier: | http://www.southtynesideimages.org.uk/fr... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | IMAGE/JPEG | Go to resource |
