Hi,
There is a book out called North Shields the bombing of a town. In it the Author Ron Curran tells a story of how he delivered newspapers in 1941. Queen Alexander Rd.West was part of his newspaper round but he does not tell of any bombs falling on the street. He does however tell of an air raid warden for the area called George Greenacre being killed in a bomb raid near Preston Colliery.The casualty list for the 1941 bombing (not complete)shows George Greenacre lived in Queen Alexander Rd.West.
Cheers
