Zeppelin attack 1915

Posted by Brian on 19/7/2026, 12:41 pm

I knew there had been Zeppelin attacks on the North East coast particularly towards Tees side area but didn't know the Hebburn Colliery and Jarrow Palmers was also bombed by Zeppelin in 1915. I haven't found much except there was at least one death at Palmers.
As anyone else got more information on this as bombing in the North East was relatively rare in WW1.

Thank you Norman. I hadn't heard anything about it before I read about it last night. In a lot of ways it's forgotten history.
