15th July 1940: Bombs at West Bergholt and Fordham

About 1 o’clock this morning a single German plane dropped 8 bombs at West Bergholt, 5 of which did not explode. One went off in the farmyard at Cook’s Hall, but did not do much damage. There were also incendiary bombs at Fordham, which did not harm. I dressed and turned out when I heard the explosions, and I saw the plane come right over our house, heading S.E., but no siren was sounded.
