  | Been trying Kyt, not as easy as it seems. I find a bomb photo and then spend ages getting a similar view, very very hard to find shots that fit (eg, not sure the picture above actually shows the bomb-damaged area.) gives me even more respect for the 'then and now' shots the After The battle people track down.

| I've some pictures somewhere in a Swindon in photos book, can't think where it is. Found this on eBay. eBay: Bomb damage Swindon GWR works 1942 6.40am official phot (item 140083921774 end time Feb-13-07 06:05:01 PST) Only one I can find on-line.I think I've worked out where this is today though. The park on left of "bomb" photo is top of GoogleEarth snap & marked recreation ground on old map. The bomb photo is taken looking roughly east. Last edited by Owen; 10-02-2007 at 12:53 AM. |

| I have no pictures of where I live (it was never bombed) but these pictures are very interesting to see.

| This site is excellent for pictures of Bristol during the war. I'm going to try to get some "then & now" pictures in the summer http://www.bristolhistory.com/?pageid=46123 Quote:
