John Cave & Sons - Blue Plaque

On the 2nd of October 2020, without due ceremony, due to 'Covid' restraints, a few members of the History Society met to commemorate the plaque being affixed to the Wilko Store, in College Street.

The plaque in commemoration of four men killed as a result of the bombing on 3rd October 1940, was erected on the 80th anniversary of the devastation it caused.

The four men worked in the boot factory of John Cave & Sons, and were Stanley George Clark aged 28, Reginal Morris Hall aged 31, Horace George Sanders aged 56, and Frank James Pricket aged 35.
