Bomb maps

One of the students from Birkbeck College did some research in the local archives on the bomb maps around Kentish Town school. She found that there had been some minor bomb damage to the school and the surrounding houses, with one or two suffering more serious damage.


Some of the burnt brick, metal and melted glass may have been from these bombs.
