If you are trying to trace family, contact Manxcat, he has traced about 20 odd members of his family these last 6 months. Bit of an expert.

There was an Anti Aircraft battery stationed up there, by or in the convent walls i think. I read somewhere they had to pull down part of the playground wall to get the gun in! My mum remembers the wall being unsafe when she went to school there just after the war.
This thread has all been posted before in the history section a long while back, sure the MODS would be able to ressurect it for you.
