Memories

Thanks for this map. A lot of my relatives were all killed in the Dakeyne Street Air Raid Shelter on that night. This map is useful to put with the Family tree. My Uncle, Thomas George Raven age 30, his children Beryl Hannah age 4, Barbara May age 23 months and Thomas age 5 were all killed. Also he was looking after my other cousins, Ursula Brenda Johnson age 4 and Roy Alan Johnson aged 9 months who were also killed. My mother also remembers going with her sister to tell the grandparents and found they had also been killed in another part of Nottingham. Gone,but not forgotten.

Having only just joined this forum I found this topic quite interesting. My late father was at one time the Stage Door Keeper at the Empire. As such we got to see many of the shows. Remember those hard benches in the 'Gods'. I have been sorting a few old photos out and have come across a few for the Empire that were autographed for us. 1948.. Benson Du'Lay and Company. He was a magician and father of Peter Dulay(was Dooley) of the "Smile you're are on Candid Camera' fame. In the Company with him was Dinah Du-Lay and Molly Du-Lay. Also 1948 were the Ice Follies. Several photos for them.
