My father lived in Bermondsey at that time (he would have been 7 years old) and I remember him speaking of Zepplins but didn’t pay much attention. And now that I too live near Burgess Park, I’ve often wondered what the ceramic houses meant. Now I know. Very moved indeed. Dad passed in 2000. I wish I’d been able to connect more with him but the two wars he lived through did much to distance him emotionally from everyone around him. Mum too. War impacts through the generations eh. We lost many family members in those two wars. Mainly the men, but female civilians too.

Great to hear the stories from that time. I feel a little caught in a time warp. Nice cup of tea wouldn’t go amiss.

Thankyou.
