Both Christ Church and St Michael's were bombed during the second world war.
The farm, now called Crockford Bridge Farm, had its Dutch-style gable end damaged by a bomb during the Second World War.
On the night of 14 November 1940, German bombs destroyed the ancient cathedral church of St Michael.
Within a few minutes the first bombs were falling; it was Sheffield's turn to be blitzed.
All Saints' Church stands beside the entrance to the refinery, and it was bombed during the Second World War. In 1971 the Fawley power station started generating electricity.
The village lost its medieval church to bombs in World War II and has expanded much since the War, partly due to Lincoln’s proximity and partly to the RAF.
A large number of bombs had been dropped on and around the town, with over a hundred civilians and many more service personnel killed in the raids.
The tower lost its pinnacles through bomb damage in 1943, which also destroyed Market Arcade in the distance.
The stately buildings on the right here are among the few which survived the bombs.
Within a few minutes the first bombs were falling; it was Sheffield's turn to be blitzed.Among the areas hit was the Moor, where many shops and buildings were destroyed or badly damaged, including
The chancel east window was blown out by bomb blasts in 1944, and the vicarage severely damaged.
Bomb damage removed the buildings left of the white stucco, which were to be replaced by the Cremorne Estate in the 1950s.
This is the east end of St Paul's Cathedral before the destruction of the Victorian high altar by a Second World War bomb in 1940.
Severely damaged by a bomb, its site is now occupied by Bristol and West House.
Five years after the end of the Second World War, there was still much evidence of the severe bombing around the cathedral.
Bombs and demolition saw them off: the left side was rebuilt in the 1960s, and the right side was replaced by the dire Mall shopping centre in 1971.
On the left corner is Nunn's, the gents' outfitter's, which was hit by an unexploded bomb on 11 September 1940.
Repairs began, but when in 1942 they were almost complete, the hall was bombed and very badly damaged. In the 1950s the hall was rebuilt as near to the original design as possible.
During the Second World War, Clydebank, given its size, suffered the heaviest bombing in Britain.
St Andrew's Cross was part of old Plymouth, much of which was destroyed in succesive bombing raids by the German Luftwaffe during the last war.
On the night of 14 November 1940, German bombs destroyed the ancient cathedral church of St Michael.
Another loss is the spire on St Nicholas's Church (background right); after the church was bombed out in June 1942, the funds could not stretch to a spire when it was rebuilt.
Heavy bombing during the Second World War led to a redesign of the traffic flow and yet another rebuilding of the pub.
Following bomb damage in the 1940 air raid, the building was altered in 1956; its outward appearance took on an Elizabethan style in contrast to this austere Gothic design.
