The worst incident at any single address.

James Duncan......aged 2.

Noelle Duncan......aged 22.

Florence Helstrip......aged 38.

Florence Mary Helstrip......aged 14.

Mildred Helstrip......10 months.

Maxwell Hyde......aged 6.

Ruby Hyde......aged 30.

Yvonne Hyde......aged 6.

Noelle and James Duncan were mother and son.
The Helstrip family lived at 104 Spalding Avenue.
The Hydes were mother and twins. Ruby Hyde had family in Acomb.

This is likely to be an example of a shared back garden shelter being hit.



In the tangled vegetation behind the 'kerbed grave' lie five victims of the York air raid.



The Duncans and Helstrips are buried in an unmarked and forgotten public grave.
