Hi, Matt.
Thanks for the links , and it is a small world the Leta Street your Mum was talking about is the street My Dad lived in, and were I was born and lived during the sixties, my Nan and Grandad lived there from the 1930’s until they demolished the street in the 1980’s, there was still a bomb site at the top end of the street right up to then.
Dad remembers the parachute mine and the damage it did, there was also a parachute mine that hit Anfield Cemetry and made quite a mess with bits of coffin and bones all over the place.
The plots are very interesting, and of course liverpool was the most bombed place in the uk outside of London a fact that most people don’t beleave because they think it was Coventry .
There is a mass grave in Anfield cemetry from a direct hit on a shelter, I will get more details on this from Dad.
P.S I have just read this through and should point out Nan and Grandad did not demolish the street themselves:D
