There is a church in Plymouth (England) that is a shell as it met a similar fate. However, it was left after the rubble was cleared and is now a very important memorial to the city. Another very interesting post Mimsie. These old photos are priceless, especially when they show members of the family.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-76195440450712064322014-10-06T11:38:52.683+08:002014-10-06T11:38:52.683+08:00It's sad to see such destruction.It's sad to see such destruction.Jason and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11860762982914983418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-35408801042304398122014-10-06T11:33:11.322+08:002014-10-06T11:33:11.322+08:00Awful to bomb a cathedral, but at least many of th...Awful to bomb a cathedral, but at least many of the beautiful windows survived.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
