Here can be seen the extensive bomb damage caused by a German air-raid of 18th September 1940 on an entirely residential location. The bombs were 'parachute mines' specifically designed for causing maximum damage & casualties whereever they happend to fall.On this occasion both mines exploded one either side of Forest Road on shops by Pearl Road and houses between Bemsted Road and Winns Terrace. One shop still stands, and can still be seen today (a cafe).On the flank wall in Jewel Road still remains the original painted advert of the original Co-operative Stores.
Deaths included two primary schoolgirls who attended Forest Road (now Greenleaf) School.
Lloyd Park House now stands on the lefthand side of Forest Road. '
