Welcome to my website; I hope you find it interesting and informative.

I was inspired to undertake this project starting in 2003 because my parents used to tell me stories about their experiences during the V1 and V2 attacks on London. My mother lived in Beckenham and my father in Dulwich so they were very much at the eye of the storm. I lived in South London most of my life, so that was the area I chose to study in detail . Latterly I have relocated to East Sussex, and coincidentally, on the golf course behind my house there is a memorial to Canadian Soldiers killed by a V1 in 1944.

​

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the V weapon attacks, and I will do my best to assist Stephen Henden Crowborough East Sussex September 2026

I am also a published author and my latest book ‘Winding Wood’ is available from Amazon.It is a supernatural story exploring the nature of betrayal and the importance of truth and of course is set in my beloved East Sussex.

 

"Some secrets refuse to stay buried. Others return to haunt the living.

For generations, the Thomson family has called Winding Wood home. But the quiet life they’ve built begins to shatter when a weeping, ghostly woman appears in the shadows: a haunting presence that lures them down a path of dark dreams and chilling revelations.

Driven by fear and a burning need for answers, Bryony Thomson follows the spirit's trail to uncover her identity. But the phantom’s path cuts close to home, stirring the deep, dangerous secrets Bryony and her family have spent years guarding.

As Bryony digs into Winding Wood’s history, the ghost leads her straight to a harrowing and cruel act buried deep in her bloodline. Unravelling the spirit's tragedy forces the Thomsons to confront the sins of their past, and the unspoken truths they've kept from one another.

Unearthing what happened at Winding Wood will change Bryony’s world forever. To find peace, her family must face the truth, or be torn apart by the weight of what they’ve hidden.

Winding Wood is an atmospheric dark mystery rich with supernatural intrigue, deep family secrets, and a haunting journey toward forgiveness. "
