Talking to my dad only yesterday, he remembers the blitz where he lived in Moseley Road. They thought he had died as his bedroom window was blown in and the roof was damaged. Never realised how bad it was, only 7 years before I was born. Thanks for posting the film.
It's unbelievbable, they put up with so much crap and yet they still pulled through. Very courageous people who's strength will always be remembered. x
I was born in Hulme and remember hearing the sirens and being yanked out of bed to get in the shelter in the middle of our street! My mum told me I learned to walk in the shelter but I have memories more after the war when we played in it until it was knocked down. I also remember my 'mickey mouse' gas mask. My dad often used to stay in bed instead of getting in the shelter as he said if it was his time to die he would die in comfort!
My dad was from Hulme. He was 18 months old when this happened. His mum (my grandmother) kept the whole family together during it. Must have been frightening.
Thats my dad was on leave from Europe we lost the picture years ago,Thomas Price was in the Pioneer Corps from Liverpool.Was in France one week before D-Day
I was three years old and have a vivid memory of being at Exchange Station after the bombings with my mother. Sparks flew up from between the tracks where men worked clearing the tracks. The roof was hanging down. Her father, William Vaughan Jenkins who was serving in the Home Guard had ordered her out of further danger. We travelled that day on a train full of troops to Darlington.

I was born in stretford and over here was heavily bombed because of the industrial centre of the city and only people know about the London blitz and people should learn about other blitz

Thank you for showing the Manchester blitz. We normally only see the London blitz.

Horrendous what people do to each other. Manchester is a special place, with amazing people.

My dad did the same and I am very disappointed in him. He should have been with his wife and kids offering moral support etc.
Wow! I have always thought that this had to be one of the most terrifying moments in history to live through. Esp as a child!

Nostalgia.
Do you think today's generation have that strength?
No. Not anywhere in the modernized world. The majority are too immature emotionally and ignorantly self absorbed,
No. Too busy wondering what gender to choose today and how to address parents now that saying “mum and dad” is banned in schools
