This evening I finally got to read my monthly e-newsletter from "Newham Voices". Which is our free community led news, information and entertainment resource for Newham residents. While free, it costs money to run so please consider subscribing - Newham Voices.
I was reminded that this weekend is the anniversary of the start of the Blitz in London and the plaque shown in the caption remembers, the 13 Air Raid wardens killed by a German bomb. This was on what is now the site of the Newham Council repair depot in West Ham ward, where I am a Councillor.
By the end of the Blitz the following May, Hitler's Nazi bombers had killed 146 West Ham and East Ham residents. Many more civilians were die in the following years.
Never forget.
