Well, I was only 10 when the war finished. So I would have been about probably only been seven or eight when this happened because it was right at the time when we were really getting bombed in Leeds, and I live outside of Leeds. So there was this bomb dropped, just around the corner from us at the bottom of our street and it went into this lady's cellar. And it’s unexploded. So there’s a great big hassle all these people came, the army, to move us out of this particular area. So we all had to pack our bags and move.

But first of all, they took us to the church, and we are under meal there. Church, and then they asked us, do you have somewhere to stay? So we went probably about a quarter of an hour's walk away where we had a aunt. And she had quite a big house, so we all slept on the floor of her front room while they detonated the bomb. We were there for about 2 days.

My mum never took us to the shelters, we’d go into a stone pantry where she’d made a bed for the three of us and herself. If we’d been hit by a bomb, probably they’d have never found us, but we did feel safe.
