The Clydebank Blitz, Glasgow, Scotland 13 - 15 March 1941

Today, whilst in Eastwood New Cemetery, Glasgow, I came across various headstones recording unidentified bodies the deaths of which being attributable to "enemy action on Glasgow, March 1941".

Although Eastwood is some 10 miles south of Clydebank, I have to assume the deaths are attributable to the bombing raids detailed below.The supporting information has been obtained from the National Records of Scotland website.

On the nights of 13-14 and 14-15 March 1941 Luftwaffe bombers raided Clydeside and inflicted casualties in several industrial centres. Glasgow suffered the highest number of fatalities (about 650), but in proportion to its population of about 50,000 the burgh of Clydebank suffered the worst. According to an official count in 1942 the Clydebank raids killed 528 people and seriously injured 617, compared to totals of 1,200 people, and 1,100 in the whole of Clydeside. 

The Germans’ main targets in Clydebank were the armaments factory in the Singer Sewing Machine works, John Brown & Company’s shipyard, and Beardmore’s engine works. Singer’s lost a valuable stock of timber, other works suffered partial damage, but the engine works of Aitchison Blair were completely destroyed. A report by the Civil Defence Regional Commissioner on 3 April included an assessment of the impact on industrial production on Clydeside. After  ‘first-aid’ repairs to many buildings were carried out, it was claimed that  production returned to near normal levels, except at badly damaged works.

Tour of Newport Area, South Wales

My wife and I are warming to the Newport area of South Wales. The town itself, although small, is smart and well kept with a good number of independent shops selling such items as craftware, books, antiques, healthcare, meat and greengrocery. Like many parts of Wales, Newport is bilingual (Welsh and English) which adds an additional dimension to the local culture.

Sitting somewhat incongruously in an estate of residential houses (in Newport) is a circa 5500 year old dolmen tomb from the Neolithic period.

After a short walk around the town we moved on to a viewpoint with views of the eastuary of the River Nevern. Not surprisingly, this was popular with bird watchers. In addition to the usual contingent of water birds we noticed a lone heron which provided a good photo oppoertunity.

Next, we moved on to Newport Beach which, in conjunction with the local golf club, is over two miles from town, to the north. Here, there is a huge expanse of sand but with weather being dull and overcast we did not linger.

Newport Beach

After departing the beach we followed a recommendation from one of the hotel staff to visit the spectacular sea cliffs at Celbwr Bay where we were rewarded with elaborate geological features.

 Example of geology at Celbwr Bay

Our final destination was a reconstructed Iron-Age ( c. 600 BC- 100 AD) site known in Welsh as Castell Henllys.. Here a number of round-houses from the period have been carefully reconstructed based on the archaeology of the site. There is a good visitor centre offering interpretation aided by guides in period costume.Groups are welcomed.
