At 01.13 hours on 6 September 1940 Sunderland station took a direct hit by two high explosive bombs leaving a crater 30ft across and 15ft deep. The blast was so violent that a carriage was lifted clear off the rails and thrown across the platform. Another part of a carriage was hurled across the street, wrecking the frontage of a long-established toy shop.
