The Bombed Church c1945
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was a pupil at Woodford Green Prep form 1945 to 1951. During that time I remember watching the demolition of the north wall of the the bombed building which was pulled down, and I suggest took place in '48/9? For safety reasons the work was not undertaken until the school had closed for the day, and we stood along the road to watch the event. The school entrance at that time was where the pillared gates are shown in this picture. I suggest therefore this picture is circa 1945.
