On the 24th September during the night several bombs fell on central Cambridge. The target was the Cambridge railway facilities which had been spotted by a high flying Ju88. One bombs hit Fenners cricket ground, another the University tennis courts near Gresham Road and another the garden of 49 Hills Road. Thousands of windows were broken and tiles dislodged in the area. The same night two large bombs fell at Cherry Hinton Hall. (See Bowyer Air Raid! pub 1986)
