There is no physical memorial at the site, so it is recorded on this website as a virtual memorial. The building still stands which was Black's Lace Factory in 1941. An air raid shelter was under this factory in the basement and it received a direct hit on 9th May 1941 whilst families were sheltering there.

Decades later, Jean Taylor wrote:

'My mother Mavis Maltby was nine years old,living on Dakeyne Street, off Carlton Road. In the area where she lived bombs seemed to be dropping al the time.

She normally went to the air raid shelter at the top of Dakeyne Street but one night she and her family did not go there because two bombs had dropped nearby and glass and rubble was all around. A nearby factory and bakery were badly hit.

So instead of continuing to run to the Dakeyne Street shelter they went to another shop on the corner of Handel Street.

The raid seemed to last all night. The following morning my grandad and uncle went to see the damage caused by the bombs.

The Dakeyne Street air raid shelter was gone completely. Among the rubble were parts of bodies. Many people were crying and others sick with shock at the dreadful scene.

My mum often used to think that it was fate that they were not in the Daeyne Street shelter on that dreadful night.'
