An unadopted private road in Beccles. Beccles & Bungay Journal, 23rd November 1940. "Beccles had its first raid of the war early on Sunday an elderly retired couple lost their lives. A high explosive bomb scored a direct hit on their semi-detached house, which was demolished. The woman was blown out of bed on to the pavement. Her husband, who was severely injured, died in hospital a few hours later." It is believed the target was the nearby Elliott and Garrood Steel Works which were undamaged.
