|  Ack Ack Batteries were sited around this area for a period in 1944.    Also during 1944/45 I remember seeing London buses parked along the narrow roads during daytime.
They were scheduled for morning & evening rush hour duties and by them not returning to their garages in outer London it conserved fuel. |   brianbeckett | Wednesday 29th of April 2020 12:00:03 PM | 
|  Two Brewers Pub, Whitecross Street.   Relations of mine ran this pub during the Blitz.  I visited several times an remember  watching the drays loading up
