Entry Number: 5192
Date: 10-NOVEMBER-2011
Author: Robin Reeve
Subject: V2 strike in Aldborough Road
Email: robin.reeve@ntlworld.com

I was 6 weeks old (Jan 1945) when what I was later told was a V2 fell in fields over the road from our house in Aldborough Road causing structural damage and breaking windows in many houses in the area, including our own. (these fields later became Ford's Sports ground). The large crater left in the fields was used by the local kids as a playground. Can anyone confirm that the incident was a V2 strike?

Everything was wonderful until WWII. Being evacuated to three different locations, starting work at fourteen, then, later doing National Service made better young people of us. Is the WT have a 75th anniversary this year? If so, at 83 years of age, I might just make the effort to attend.Are there many of Miss Honey's class on the Internet?

I also remember those days chasing the girls in the playground. Teresa White was the girl who surname you could not remember. If you recall I had a twin brother John and we was always dressed the same thanks to my wonderful mother. We used to live in the flats at Suffolk Court just of Aldborough Road. What great times they where.
