From the "Warrington Worldwide" website
commemorating the 75th anniversary of the
incident:-

"Women and young children were amongst the
casualties when a German bomber on its way back
from a bombing raid at Manchester, targeted the
factory’s annual fete.  The stray German bomber
was travelling along the Manchester Ship Canal and
spotted a large crowd of people at the fete and
decided to unload its last remaining bombs.  There
was carnage as one bomb fell on the canteen
burying 150 people in the wreckage, killing 16,
injuring a further 28, 15 of them seriously.

“Bomber Kills Women, Babies,” reported the
local press.  “Mothers and tiny babies were
among the helpless civilians killed by a lone
German raider who swooped down upon them in a
North-West town.  “They were attending a
Spitfire gala in a recreation club when the bomber
dived without warning and released two bombs. 
“One completely wrecked the light wooden club…
two families were partly wiped out, members of
others lie in hospital gravely wounded.  It was
all over in seconds… but dead, dying, injured
and a mass of mangled debris were the pitiful
aftermath which this Nazi bomber left behind as,
immediately he swept back into the skies and
vanished.”

Later there were many conflicting eyewitness
accounts from those who had seen the plane swoop
over the town, but most agreed that the pilot was
low enough to see exactly what he had bombed. The
Warrington Fire Officer’s log reported, however,
that German radio reports that evening claimed
that the Aluminium Mills at Bank Quay had been
bombed.”

At around 5pm, the time of the bombing, Rev
Kingsnorth will read out the names of those who
lost their lives a memorial to the victims
situated at the Lake on Centre Parks, Warrington,
close to the Village Hotel – the site of the
bombing.   Those who lost their lives were:

Donald Ackerley;  Henry Williamson Coope;  Albert
Wallance Cox;  Albert William Cox;  Rhoda Hannah
Gittings Cox;  May Domville;  Amy Heath Edwards; 
Ruth Jackson;  Beatrice Hannah Parker (Canteen
Manageress)  See under Sale B.C.);  Ann Lawson
(aged 2);  William Stanley Reynolds;  Lilian Maud
Springham;  William George Springham;  Williams
James Taylor;  William John Taylor (aged 3);
