Description: | Binns Department Store occupied buildings on both sides of Fawcett Street in Sunderland. On 16 April 1941 the store was hit by incendiary bombs during an air raid, and gutted by fire. This photograph shows the rebuilding of the store on the east side of the street in 1951. The metal frame is complete and the floors are being installed. The store closed in 1992 and is now occupied by Wilkinsons. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East events Sunderland war | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
