The Blitz
From my book I in addition to the tube station incident:
A total of 14 High explosive bombs fell on the Bounds Green area causing serious damage to property in Bounds Green Road,Maidstone Road,Palace Road and Park Road.One bomb fell on the Swimming Pool in Durnsford Road. With no casualties.In 1944 a V2 rocket fell close to Tewkesbury Terrace,destroying seven houses and two more in Maidstone Road.Fatalities by bombing in the Bounds Green area during WW2 totalled forty.

Albert's book Bounds Green: An Interesting Corner of Haringey is available from Hornsey Historical society at Old Schoolhouse each Thur/Fri/Sat between 10-2.
It is also stocked by the Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green - one of their comprehensive local history titles.
I would also recommend another local history book by Albert: Wood Green Past which covers a wider area.
