36 bombs were dropped many of them falling on closely-packed houses nearby. Reports of a raid on a �North Midland town� were published in newspapers at the time, however, due to war time censorship the full details were not published until 1918 (see Sheffield Independent 3rd December 1918 Sheffield Telegraph 4th December 1918).
