WW2 Bomb damage map

Pretty sure I’ve seen a discussion before but can’t find it. Found a good map for SE22, very expandable and purchasable.

You can see all the LCC London bomb maps online here: https://www.layersoflondon.org/map/overlays/bomb-damage-1945

There is also this site http://bombsight.org which gives details on the bomb that struck during the Blitz

Bombsight is blitz only, I was always frustrated that it didn’t show the 3 houses opposite me that had disappeared. The LCC one does show a bomb there and seems to cover the entire duration of the war.  There was a baby blitz’ in Jan 44 so presume some of the non V1/2 damage was done then. 

The LCC maps have good info on degree of damage too. My house was ‘seriously damaged but repairable at cost’ - shame there’s no way of finding out more.  Explains the pebbledash front though.

Nerding again: found this 1949 pic from Britain from Above website (free if you register) which appears to show damage in the Plough/Library area. This was a V2 hit but it seems the bank withstood this but the flats behind did not?

Does anyone know what is up with the bombsight website?   I accessed it way back when it was posted here, but today, it's just text and broken links. 😞

No,  but is the "sight" spelling a deliberate pun on "site"?

The Wayback machine https://web.archive.org/ picked it up on 2 October.

Taking a long old time to load, and not really getting there.  I will let it do its thing and see if it sorts out.  A shame, as I really enjoyed going through it when the link was put up originally.  Thank you!

Looks to me like a server configuration problem.  

Unfortunately if say "This project is in maintenance mode, tweet @bombsightuk for questions." It might be worth a try.
