Irish Girls from Hell: These two linked to pub blast


October 1974
One wonders if it's even possible to go to one's local for a quiet pint lately. These are the faces of two girls police want to interview following the Guildford terror bomb attacks on Saturday night (5-10-74). The Photo-Fit pictures have been built up from witnesses descriptions of two girls sitting in the alcove at the Horse and Groom pub where a bomb exploded killing five people, and also at the Seven Stars, scene of another bombing. The two girls are said to be the odd ones out among Women’s Royal Army Corps girls who were at the pubs and all knew each other. One girl was 5ft 6ins tall, with long blonde hair – possibly dyed. She was very heavily made-up and wearing a light-coloured jacket. The other girl was 5ft 8ins, with long dark hair. She was wearing a sweater with coloured stripes.
