Description: | This photograph shows St Clement Danes Church in the Strand, gutted by bomb damage during an air raid in 1941.
The photographer looks towards the east, and the Royal Courts of Justice stand background left. There is an ornate lamppost on the traffic island. A U.S. Army vehicle, a white star on the bonnet, is approaching the island on the right.
The church interior was entirely rebuilt and dedicated to the Royal Air Force in 1958. There are also memorials dedicated to the Polish and the Commonwealth Air Forces that fought as Allies in the Second World War. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Cityscape London at War | Temporal: | 10 Aug 1944 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
