Tomorrow marks the 80th anniversary of a wartime air-raid on York. No, not the Baedeker Raid of April 29, 1942, in which 79 people lost their lives and thousands of homes were destroyed or damaged The raid that happened 80 years ago tomorrow was smaller: one of the other ten air raids that York endured through six long years of war. But it was bad enough. It was the seventh air raid on the city. Incendiary firebombs were dropped in a line from the former sugar beet factory on Boroughbridge Road all the way to the former North Riding mental hospital off Shipton Road. The incendiaries were put out by York's Civil Defence force - their job was made easier because many bombs fell into the River Ouse.
