The world we have lost.

The C17th “Dutch House” stood on the corner of Bristol’s High Street & Broad St. Saved by the Lord Mayor from traffic engineers in 1900, it was badly damaged but not destroyed by bombs on 24 Nov 1940. It was needlessly demolished 3 days later.

The sturdy Greek Doric of the Albion Congregational Church, Hull.

Gutted by firebombs in 1941, the shell remained intact, the building recoverable. It was demolished post-war.

Bedford Circus, Exeter. The same story. Badly damaged but very far from destroyed in 1942. Some houses gutted. Others only broken glass.

Surviving townhouses were demolished, railings ripped up & trees chopped down, crescent erased. Needless self-harm.
