In the late evening of January 4th 1941, nine bombs were dropped on Clevedon.
There was only one casualty: 22-year old soldier William Wraith of Rotherham, stationed at Kingston Seymour, and serving with the 4th East Yorks, who was walking past the cinema at the time.
He died in the Cottage Hospital of his injuries the next day. The blast damage is still clearly visible above the entrance to the cinema.
