On the other corner of Moult St and Scotty lived a family called Lundon I remember us all sheltering in there cellar during the May Blitz on the night the Rotunder got bombed, a lot of the people from the area that had been bombed out had there furnature stored in the Rotunder, and when it was hit by incendiary bombs it went up like a tinderbox. At the back of the Rotunder was a funeral directors, I just cant remember there name but there where horses stabled in there and they all burnt to death, the noise from them was horrific. Maybe Spike can use some of this info on his WW2 site.
