Charlotte Mary Judd was the daughter of Henry and Hannah D Woolley and the sister of Elizabeth and William Woolley. In 1891, they lived on Main Road and in 1901 on High Road (both Chilwell, Nottinghamshire). Late in 1901, she married Charles Philip Judd 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).
