The house I was born in.
13 Bilton Grove,
Preston Road,
Hull.
I remember during the war years the sirens going during the night, and my mother taking me down to the shelter out side, I used to look out at the search lights and the bombers in the sky.
Later on the Government evacuated us to Morley, near Leeds.
