Walton Gaol bombed
At about 10.20 pm on Wednesday 18 September 1940, Liverpool’s Victorian prison, Walton Gaol, received a direct hit from a high explosive bomb. Police and prison warders used chisels, crow bars and sledge hammers to break through the thick cell walls to release prisoners trapped under fallen masonry. Twenty-two inmates were killed.
The prison was attacked again in the May Blitz. After this it was decided to remove prisoners to other gaols until the end of the war.
