Hi all...just recieved this from a family member and for the life of me I can't find any reference to it, any help would be very grateful indeed.
My family member detailed this - born 15.08.1946 in a street that does not exist any more. In fact I think it was created for a purpose & then removed. Explanation. I was born at 13 Peace Street, Bethnal Green E2. The area had suffered huge damage through bombing raids by the German air force & there were no buildings left standing. The authorities created a few streets & put up what were called 'nissen huts'. They were the same in principal as the 'Anderson Air Raid Shelters' only bigger with all the usual facilities that a house would have. When my dad was demobbed the family was put in one of the huts & later moved out to one of the new estates.
So thats it, nothing on the internet no mention of it anywhere
Any help anyone to solve this one
