SIR – I was pleased to read that Discover History (Worcester News, June 30) is taking into local schools artefacts and information about the Second World War and its impact on our locality.

However, I would like to correct the name of the factory in St John’s which was bombed – it was the MECO and not the MECCA as reported in the article.

That day, as an eight-year-old I was on an errand for my mother to the wool shop run by Miss Aston in the Upper Tything and saw the lone German plane flying low over the Alice Ottley School on its way to St John’s.

I carried on, but a bit later when in the shop we felt a ground shaking bump and wondered what it was. I can’t remember if I said that I had seen a Jerry flying over – but if I did who believed me?

JEAN KEERS,

Worcester.
