This photograph shows bomb damage suffered by the south side of Newgate Street on 29 December 1940. On this night, subsequently known as Red Sunday, the City of London was hit by one of the heaviest night raids of the Blitz. Some of the worst damage occurred around St Paul's and Paternoster Row. Practically all the buildings on the south side of Newgate Street were destroyed. This photo showing the destruction was taken the morning after the bomb fell by Police Constables Arthur Cross and Fred Tibbs.
