B/W print; Air raid damage to the canteen at Elmers End bus garage inflicted by a V1 flying bomb on 18 July 1944 by Topical Press, 20 Jul 1944

Air raid damage to the canteen at Elmers End bus garage inflicted by a V1 flying bomb on 18 July 1944. The roof and upper level of the building have been largely blown away along with one side of the lower level. Debris is heaped by the end of the building. Beyond the canteen, the damage to the garage itself can just be seen, with the metal framework of the roof left exposed and the mangled remains of a vehicle visible below. The photo was taken from the junction of Elmers End Road and Beck Lane.
