Rosehill Street Explosion P3 13.05.12


Rosehill Street Explosion 10th May 2012

13th May 2012

Local residents who live in Rosehill Street Cheltenham had a lucky escape on Thursday night, when at approx 7.30pm a large explosion destroyed one house, and damaged surrounding properties. The explosion was so powerful it blew out windows and spread debris across the street. An 81 year old lady is now recovering from her injuries after incredibly she managed to survive her ordeal.

A close  friend of mine who lives in Battledown approx ¾ mile away was relaxing in his lounge when he said. “Although much worse than thunder, I naively thought it was thunder.  Looked out of window and saw dark cloud, so ignored it!”
