The Blitz: 80th anniversary of deadly aerial raids on Inverclyde


EIGHTY years have passed since Hitler's bombers brutally battered Greenock, Gourock and Port Glasgow during the infamous wartime Blitz on our towns.
The air raids — which took place over the nights of May 6 and 7 in 1941 — claimed the lives of 329 men, women and children, injured 600 other victims, and left huge swathes of the district burning and devastated.
As the years since have rolled on, many of the survivors of what happened, and their memories, are no longer with us.
But it is a moment in the area's history which must never be forgotten.
Inverclyde has most recently — like the rest of the world — been living through the Covid-19 pandemic and the human tragedies it has inflicted.
