Rebuilt terrace on Southey Hill
Image: © Martin Speck Taken: 22 Aug 2010
A rebuilt terrace on Southey Hill as seen from the footpath to Kyle Crescent. On 12th March 1941 a German bomber, bound for the shipyards at Belfast was intercepted by an RAF fighter. In an effort to evade the British aircraft the German aircrew ditched their bomb, a massive anti-shipping mine. The terrace seen in the centre of this picture was completely destroyed. The building to the right, number 35 Southey Hill also sustained substantial damage. The children living at number 35 were evacuated to Cwmcarn where they lived with relatives. Picture Sheffield has a photograph of the damage. See http://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s01084&pos=1&action=zoom&id=4906
