The Sad Story of Sheffield's "Starfish" Sites at Strines End and Grindleford

 These two pages are from a book I read years ago called Trojan Horses that dealt with deception and misdirection in wartime. On pages 130 and 131 there is a section on what were known as Starfish sites and it makes particular reference to the events in the Sheffield area in the summer and autumn of 1940.

I was not aware of the dismantling of the site and of course you are always left wondering if the fatalities and destruction that occurred on the nights of 13the and 15th December 1940 would have be less had the site remained active.
