Charles Philip Judd was the son of David and Emma Judd and the brother of Emma and Arthur Judd. In 1881, they lived at 1, Claypole Road, Radford, Nottingham. By 1891, they had moved to 71, Bluebell Hill, St Mary (both Nottingham.) Late in 1901, Charles and Charlotte Mary Woolley were married in the Shardlow district and they had two sons – William Arthur (1902) and David (1907). In 1921, they lived at 9, Cedar Road but had moved to 180, Meadow Lane (both Nottingham) by 1939.
Nottingham’s heaviest loss of life at a single location during May 9th 1941’s air raid occurred within the Co-op Bakery on Meadow Lane where 49 night shift workers perished. The bakery was hit twice; one bomb caused tons of flour stored on upper floors to crash down to ground level. A second device penetrated the bakery’s air raid shelter roof before exploding amongst the assembled work force. Rescue efforts were impeded by blazing fat. For an excellent account of this incident, see David Needham, Battle of the Flames, Nottingham’s Fight for Survival in WWII (2nd Ed. Chesterfield: Banister Publications Ltd, 2020 p.p. 141-142. First Ed. Horizon Press, 2009).
