Description: | This photo was taken from the Golden Gallery of St Paul's Cathedral in the aftermath of the Blitz. The view to the east includes Queen Victoria Street, Cannon Street railway station, Friday Street and Bread Street.
The two churches featured were both heavily damaged in attacks. Only the tower remained of St Augustine's Church on Watling Street. The bells of St Mary-le-Bow on Cheapside had crashed to the ground.
Police Constables Arthur Cross and Fred Tibbs photographed the scene that surrounded St Paul's. Almost alone, the cathedral remained intact. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | By Kind Permission of The Commissioner of the City of London Police | Subjects: | Communities London at War Cityscape | Temporal: | 1940-1945 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
