The scars of the deadly raid during the year of the Blitz can still be seen to this day.
The junction of Pound Street and St Mary's Street was still showing the scars when this picture was taken.
One is a Nazi aerial reconnaissance photo highlighting the large RAF training camp on Bridgnorth's doorstep, highlighted in red."I came across the Luftwaffe target dossier for Bridgnorth in 1940 while researching my next book, Bridgnorth in World War II," said Clive."This raises the question of whether, when the bombs dropped on Bridgnorth on August 29, 1940, were they just dumping their load after a raid on Liverpool or was it a proper raid.
Other bombs landed at the junction of Pound Street, Listley Street and St Mary's Street severely damaging the Squirrel Hotel and nearby properties. “About 1.30am I was wakened by a whistling sound. That was it then. I must have been blown out of bed and hit the wall the other side of the room. The next thing I remember was being carried downstairs by my mum in her arms.
