Thunderbolt in Gornal Wood 1950/1

Postby mallosa » Tue Nov 12, 2013 8:53 pm

Jim has just contacted me regarding the above....

His family lived at No 4 The Alley, Gornal Wood and in either 1950 or 1951 the house was struck by this thunderbolt.
He remembers an article in the local newspaper (may have been the Express & Star or the Dudley Herald) showing a picture of his father with his hand sticking out of the massive hole in the roof.

He is desperate for a copy of that photo and has contacted both newspapers but no joy.

Does anyone remember it? Can anyone advise where else he can try?
If you would like to have your ancestors photo's included in our Gallery, please send me a pm.
