In this gallery collection you will see the Bishop’s House flattened during an air raid in 1941 and other substantial damage to properties at the time.
There is a rare image of the glass roofed arcade, which was bombed during the raid of 10th January 1941.
You will also see a lovely image of the Trafalgar Institute’s bar, as it was early last century.
