Environment: World War 2

Bombed London

I looked for photographs from World War 2 in the 1940's of areas that were effected by the bombing. It is easy to find images of destroyed areas however there were specific things that I was looking for. I needed images of buildings that I could find the address or atleast most of the address for or it would be impossible for me to find. This criteria lead to to a lot of dead ends when looking for images.

I also need to find images that would be possible to mimic. If the photos have been taken from a birds eye view or are obviously taken from a higher point it is unlikely that I would be able to achieve this.

I am planning to use google map and the internet in general to try and see what the places that I have found in these photographs looks like now as they may not be worth shooting or housing etc may no longer exist there.


Below are a collection of images that I have found that hopefully are suitable. I still need to research deeper but have found addresses or atleast area name for each image.
