Click for the official report of the "Incident"  This said 22 were killed 65 injured and 30 missing... We now have a detail of 34 people who died see below 

Relatives of folks who died in this gave me a photocopy of photos of the damage and the report - the quality is not brilliant but I think it is worth preserving the sacrifice.  I am always happy to help with such Lest We Forget pages and it is great there is to be a special service to remember.

Hilda is my original contact. The then Hilda White was 13 at the time and had relatives at numbers 22 69 and 71.
 She remembers some details of the day - but it was traumatic - a policemen wanted her to look after a baby whose cot  was sticking out of window however an adult came along who knew what to do.
