@little_frear So kind to say so. Much appreciated!

Unfortunately it was a very low tide on the night of 29th December 1940; fire boats on the Thames had great difficulty relaying water from the river to support the overstretched fire fighters desperately working in the blazing City.

#ThamesatWar #Blitz Although London city's waterfront warehouses largely survived the 29/12/40 raid, others such as Brandram's Wharf in #Rotherhithe were severely damaged. Find out more on the Thames at War path https://t.co/T2LKydehtm on @LayersofLondon

The City of London the morning after the 1940 firestorm raid. 14 fire-fighters has been killed and City Police’s A Division reduced to rubble, but the bravery shown overnight by a City of London Police Officer would subsequently lead to his being awarded the George Medal.

11.43pm. After almost 6 hrs of attack, the All Clear signal was given. During that time, 28 incendiaries had fallen on the Cathedral. But the damage was comparatively superficial: 'When we looked out over the City we saw an appalling scene of destruction’ #Blitz80 #StPaulsBlitz

#ThamesatWar - The September 1940 Blitz brought devastation to Trinity & Durand's Wharves #Rotherhithe. The river wall was also hit requiring emergency flood repairs. Follow the #ThamesatWar trail on @LayersofLondon https://t.co/BDQR95ywnj

[Gustav Milne @Gustav_Milne]

As the scour around the site grew steadily worse, in July 1941 shuttered concrete was grafted onto the brickwork. This repair, worse for wear, is still visible in this photo from 2010. Follow the #ThamesatWar trail on @LayersofLondon https://t.co/dDVU5LZS1C

#ThamesatWar September 1940: at the start of the Blitz, a bomb destroyed the river wall at the north end of #Fulham Football Club’s Craven Cottage site. A sandbag wall was then built around the crater to protect it from flooding. https://t.co/dDVU5LZS1C
