My late father lived on Northbrook Ave and was part of the ARP, he helped a man who had all his clothes blown off by giving him his overcoat. As for the Bombing, it was a case of “bending” the two beams. The powers that be in the UK had worked out that the Germans worked on reverse triangulation to pinpoint a given target. By slightly bending one of the beams the Luftwaffe were off by 60/70 miles. After the war Germany made reparation and apologized.
I'm originally from Annesley Place myself. My grandfather was one of those local ARP men, and also a former IRA man who fought in the war of Independence. Our family home was 1 Annesley Place (now Graingers Pub.) I remember my Grandmother telling me that a bomb had landed on the roof and never went off, a lucky escape would be an understatement! Excellent upload by the way👍🏻.

Apart from all the bombing damage, the buildings have a strange beauty and character. Are most of them still there or were they demolished?
***** Thanks, happy new year
| had no idea Ireland was bombed.
The Germans paid compensation for it.
Apparently they taught it was Belfast 🤦♂️😅
