Have you seen the memorial (set in the wall, of what used to be Cocker Bros.) to the 29 men, women and children killed in the German Zeppelin raid on Sheffield, in September 1916.

do you mean the one in the wall at the now baltic works
opposite the dancing dollar ?

As quoted by Jan2002 do you mean the one in the wall at the now baltic works

Yes, thats the one.

I can remember, as a kid in the late 60's, they would hold a sevice on rememberance day (I'm guessing) with the salvation army and singing. Most of the road would be blocked with the crowd of people, how times have changed.

Pietro,

Do you know the names of the people who died in the zeppelin raid on effingham road in 1916. If not where would i find this information from?.
Thanks

Local Sudies section in the central library should be able to help.

Hiya glynn
I remember seeing some of the names of the casualties, in a book somewhere. I'll try to get the brain into gear this week and find where I saw them.

Greybeard, Local studies have nothing specific, but i am looking through newspapers.

Pietro - that would be great if you could, thanks. Also if you do find the book can you let me know what it is called, thanks

Glynn.

Pietro,

I have now got a list of the people who perished in the raid of 1916. Thanks for your help.

Glynn.
