SIR - I can assure John Phillpott that the infamous Meco raid was by no means the only occasion bombs fell on Worcester in the Second World War (Seven Days, June 16).
I remember that on the first night of the London Blitz a string of four was dropped by a lone raider.
I believe one was on the King George V playingfield and another was certainly in Tallow Hill. It fell near the old workhouse, now the mosque but at that time commandeered by the RAF, demolishing a section of boundary wall.
The first bomb in the county was in a field next to the new bridge at Upton-upon-Severn. I cycled out to see the crater of that one.
John Hinton, Worcester.
