I dont think it was by the Turnpike. Maybe they had a shelter there? But I give these reasons.
If you look at the list of those that died on the webpage.
http://liverpoolremembrance.weebly.c...t-shelter.html
Notice some of the addresses. Statton Road, Warnerville Road, Oak Vale. They are right by the Gardener's Arms pub and The Green. Two families with young children are listed. This was the heaviest night of bombing we recieved. They would have got to a close shelter. Walking the kids down to a shelter near to Broadgreen Station would be a risk, and why would so many from the area do it?
Then the story on the site from Hilda Dison has " There were many tragic bombings very close to us. Many young people died in a large underground public shelter on Queen's Drive near Broadgreen Road " Again by the Green.
The letter in the echo last week mentions the Shelter placed in the location of the Green.
Im looking for a map that shows when Thomas Drive came through the area.
