people that were killed,  when on that Friday the 7th March 1941 10 bombs

hit the factory.

Friday 7th March 1941 bombing, we will remember them.  Their ultimate sacrifice to work in dangerous places, during the  2nd world war will not be in vain. We are very grateful to Newark Town Council and NSK Europe, formerly known as Ransome and Marles, who will finally commemorate the bombing of their factory with a memorial. This memorial will be mounted on top of a wooden box which will have the names of the 41 people who were killed embossed on it, along with a plate describing its purpose. On top will take the form of a large chrome-plated bearing. A public ceremony will be organised for the installation of the memorial at Newark Town Hall on 7th march 2011.

On that afternoon the first air raid siren alert was sounded at 13.35 and five minutes later an enemy Heinkel 111 made its first pass over the factory at 1,000 feet. Four 500 lb bombs were dropped on the works and the bombs detonated. Two hit the factory, one hit the edge of the works and another hit the works shelter at the back of Stanley Street. The plane then turned west and circled around before dropping one 1,000 lb bomb which failed to explode. This was a big part of our history during the Second Word War, with the most loss of life, with 41 killed and another 165 injured.
