A year and three days later, on Wednesday 12 July 1944, a flying bomb fell onto the rubble of the London Road shop. It landed at 7.30am and caused widespread damage to 400 houses, shops and offices. A number were completely destroyed, including Sainsbury's shop. Three people died and 41 were injured. Casualties would have been much greater if the raid had been later in the day. |
