 Re: Langley Mill Bombed during WW2?
replied on: 12/19/2002 2:10:44 PM
The German's dropped bombs on Langley Mill
during World War 2 forsure but when???
I have been given several dates on this but have never found a local newspaper report.
The bombs landed in the area between Station Road Bus Garages and Woodlinkin.
My father was a member of the Homeguard who
met in the Old Boys School and his version was the Fire Brigade set fires in the area to attract Bombers away from Derby and
Nottingham which appeared to suceed. Damage seems to have been very limited i recall one cow and lots of broken glass.
So has anyone got a definate date?near date?
Year???
