  18. I have been told that there was a group of teenagers. One of them cuaght alight, probably from a smoke bomb or something similar. His very good friends laughed and ran away........would like to hear any further news as a child I know witnessed it and has been left very traumatised.
  19. People took shelter in the basement of the Kings Arms when it took a direct hit killing/ trapping them all. Past publicans and barmen/maids would never venture donstairs to the cellar where strange noises and lights were often experienced!!!! No. 78 Oglander Rd had a bomb drop in the back garden! It blew down the back of my Mums house next door (76)... You can see the repaired brick work. Houses along Underhill/ Upland/ Friern, Hindmans / Darrell and Crystal Palace rd suffered bomb damage .

  24. An update! My Mum says that the cows were kept in outbuildings to the rear of 50, Oglander Road. The cows were taken from there to the slaughterhouse in Choumert Road. The land and dairy was owned by United Dairies....Maybe they have some records??!!The shop at 50 Oglander was the dairy,My Mum says she used to help the lady "sort out" the price tickets for the goods sold. After that it became a sweet shop.
