9th July 1940 The 1st Bombing Of Norwich
The end of a bright summers day in Norfolk, the on going war seemed far away, little did anyone know that single bomber had found a hole in the countries defences and was about to rain death over the city. The 1st of many to do so.

Thank you
Another excellent episode of a very dark period, thank you Sir!!!🙏😢❣️
Top work as ever, thanks buddy.
This is a very interesting video and the presentation is excellent. I had no idea we had such raids in Norwich though my mum did speak of one around Gresham Road. I do remember growing up in the 80s the air raid siren at West Earlham would sometimes be heard, no doubt because we were in the middle of the Cold War
Our house in Overbury Road unfortunately had an aircraft drop on it, we stayed with my grand mother for a while we returned to Norwich and lodged with a very nice lady on Denis Avenue, Hellesdon, one night we had urgent knocking on the door, the ladies Husband who was a fireman had an emergency call out, when we looked across to the city it was just amass of flame, a sight I have never forgotten, I am 86 now
Thank you so much. So sad. People moan snd groan these days for the most trifling of things but these people went through h..l and , mostly, with a smile on their faces! We could learn so much from them 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
As I understand Frazers Joinery by the river where the Law Courts are now was hit… it’s where my grandfather worked but he went home for lunch when was hit also as I understand the boiler man died
Good Afternoon
Very interesting as my moms maiden name was Rita Burrell and she grew up near Norwich, then moved in land to Bungay to avoid the bombing. I wonder if Maud Burrell was a relative.
