I live in Coventry. My street was built in the 1830's which is less than a mile from the city centre. Half way down the street 5 houses on both side of the street, are different from the rest. A couple were only replaced in the late 1970's. I have a picture book (can't read lol) of "Coventry at war". One picture of my street shows the front of a house completely blown away. 5 deaths in that house.
My Dad, as a kid at the time, collected shrapnel in the streets. I have them now.... Handleable relics from Operation...Moonlight Senator.
