I don't know what type of bomb it was, but the town centre was definitely hit by some kind of bomb. It landed in a work yard, somewhere behind the Royal Oak public house in Oswaldtwistle.

Can't help with a date, but I know it was towards the end of the war. My grandmother heard and saw the bomb drop, as our family bakery faces that pub.

So the town was bombed, but sadly I can't remember anymore details.
