Top of the Document
Zeppelin Raid on East Dereham 8th September 1915. L.14 arrived over East Dereham at about 8.55pm, dropping 15 HE and 16 incendiary bombs on the town. One incendiary fell on an oil store behind an ironmonger’s shop in Market Place, causing a significant fire. Another bomb smashed through a house adjoining the Corn Hall, an historic building which had its glass roof shattered. Other bombs caused serious damage to buildings in Church Street, including the White Lion pub where two customers, Harry and Sylvia Johnson, were severely injured. Other bombs killed 61-year-old James Taylor, Harry Paterson, a 44-year-old jeweller and Lance Corporal Alfred Pomeroy, 2/1st City of London Yeomanry. Private Leslie MacDonald of the same regiment later died much later of injuries caused during the raid. Bombs also landed - without damage - close to tents at the V.A.D. hospital in the grounds of the Old Vicarage on St. Withburga Lane. (below)
