Guest Posted 10 October , 2018 Share Posted 10 October , 2018 (edited) Dear John, I live in Mapperley- Nottingham. I have recently come across some information and learnt a bomb might have fallen on Hickling road during the raids in 1916 In your research, have you found anything specific about the bombs dropped in Mapperley? eg: a map, exact location or testimony? Thank you very much Edited 10 October , 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
