Mrs Nora Sturrock lived in Upper Queen Street. She and her boyfriend George (later husband) were standing in the doorway when the Wilkinson's bomb blast flung them both into the passageway covering them in lime dust. George was one of the first at the scene.
They both knew that their cousins were in Wilkinsons. 'Sandy' Alexander Frankland was killed, Arthur survived although he was buried up to the neck in rubble and Billy was flung clear smoking at the entrance.
