Hello I was interested to know where the blue plaque is situated, that you have at the top of this page? I knew John Hawking who lost his wife and two children in this shelter. I believe he had one son who was not in the shelter. He later remarried my mother's cousin Lilian Cross and had another son.

Hi Robert,
There's an article about this in the November 2021 Devon Family Historian, which I guess you will have?
Regards,
Maureen
