House bombed in Sunniside
May 12 1941 a German bomber dropped a stick of five bombs. One landed in the front garden of nos. 16-17 Fernville Ave. One of the occupants, George Shanks, was killed and Tom and Jeannie Ann Shanks were injured.
The roofs and windows of nearby houses were damaged and even as far as Elm Street some of the back doors were ripped open by the effects of the bomb blast.
