The New Haven at No.16 High Street in Stockton, now Barnacles. c1986
During the latter part of the second World War there was an air raid siren high on the ridge of the Adelphi Cafe , as it was then called.The only time I can remember it going off was around 4.15 one weekday afternoon. I was about to turn into Wellington Street to wend my weary way home after a hard day at school when off it went. I will have been around seven years old and my feet didn”t touch!
