“My cousin is Beatrice Green, her son Vince was a baby in the pram when that happened. The window next to him was shattered and he was covered in glass. He was cut all over. He had to go to hospital and be stitched up.”


“The blast of the bomb did some strange things. A girl who lived in Orchard Street straight opposite where the bomb dropped says that her mother had got a sideboard in the front room and on the sideboard was a basket of eggs. All the windows were blown in and it splintered the sideboard but they found the eggs on the floor in the basket and not one of them was broken


"Up Kathleen Place lived Mrs. Cox in the end house. She had a patch of ground in front of the house where she kept free-range fowl. The bomb fell on that patch of ground and she never found a feather"
