    And now a really interesting story from Norman McConnell, who has written about growing up as a young boy in the suburbs, during WW2.

    Norman also contributed to the page on the Rocket Shelter.

    Thanks Norman. ( and Spike ! )

    Hi Lemondog
    My partner Debz Dannunzio has dedicated a chapter in her book, Liverpool's Italian Families to the Blackstock gardens air raid shelter. Her family lived at 11c Blackstock Gardens until from the day they where built until 1970 when the tenaments where demolished.
