I am writing a new book about a particular air attack on Brighton during the Second World War, which may well be remembered by some people as "the day they bombed the viaduct".

It was on Tuesday, May 25, 1943.

On this day, more than 20 500kg bombs were dropped on Brighton, causing serious damage and resulting in the loss of several people's lives.

I am looking for personal stories, old pictures taken around that time or descriptions of the damage and rescue undertaken at the time or shortly after.

Maybe you or your father took part in rescuing trapped people or you have a story about pets or other animals that were trapped or rescued.

In short, I am looking for any stories about that day on any subject linked to it.
