"Bomb Sight" – mapping the WW2 bombs


This fascinating site was described in this week’s Brent and Kilburn Times.  The total number of bombs dropped from 7th October 1940 to 6th June 1941 in Willesden Green was 40 (High Explosive Bombs). These roads had at least one hit:Pound Lane, Deacon Road, Villiers Rd, St Paul's Avenue, High Rd and Chapter Rd. Roundwood Park appears to have had most of the bombs.
