Oh this thread is right up my street, annoying I missed it before! Found this the other day, but it doesn't have a date on it - can anyone date it looking at the roads etc? (There are some on ebay but that's cheating and they may be wrong!)
It's a little inaccurate in the Queen's Park area, having chopped off the western region of Queen's Park Terrace. It's done the same to St Luke's Terrace.

My mum lived at 2 Franklin Road, number 1 took a direct hit (shown on that map). Luckily, she had already been evacuated to Yorkshire. She was 7-12 in the war years. Her dad, my grandpa was an ARP warden.
My Dad was 12-17 and remembers all the kids diving under the classroom tables at Varndean Grammar when the air raid siren went off.
What a childhood!!
Small world - my Dad was (briefly) evacuated to Yorkshire, and he went to Varndean. He remembers seeing RAF and Luftwaffe fighters flying at rooftop height below him when he was watching from the school. As you say, what a childhood. Dad’s short-term memory’s a bit ropey now but he still vividly recalls the war.

A lot of American businessmen in particular seem to have German heritage.

We like them until they get too rich.

Chicago had a lot of German immigration. At one point the language appeared in newspapers and street signs. You can still see the influence today with German style beers and sausage stalls.

Whoa! Where did you hear that?








I forgot so many.
