My father was on the Z battery somewhere on the Manor during WW2. Apparently they were aligned to miss the steel works and hit houses in case of malfunction !!!!!!

My father was on the AAguns and rockets at Parkwood Springs,he told me as a kid that they did more damage to that part of Sheffield than the whole German air force managed to do!!!!.
