Show on mapThe bombing of Middlesbrough Train Station is well reported in local books.
This small plaque inside the station commemorates the eight people killed that day.
James Fred Bink, John William Bowe, Derek Corfield, Charles Raymond Taylor, George William Barnett (should be Barrett), Timothy Carroll, Soloman Peter Niman and William Henry Thornelowe.
My book, Air Raid Diary (the Luftwaffe attacks on Teesside, 1940-1943) tells the full story of the raid on Middlesbrough station 3 August 1942, as well as detailing all of the attacks on the wider Teesside are from Hatrlepool to Whitby. Available from Waterstones, WH Smith, Guisborough Bookshop or direct from me (via my website)
I have a copy here on my desk, and very good it is too !
My great uncle was one of the casualties on this plaque but his name is wrong it should be George William BARRETT.
