Shows how the branch looked sometime after the first time it was bombed during the Second World War, on 9 July 1943. Image included in 'JS Journal' Vol. 4 No. 4 November 1951, p.12, with the caption "How the branch operated after the first bombing".
The branch temporarily moved for six weeks to the disused Wesleyan Methodist Church on London Road while repairs were carried out, and after completion of the repairs returned to the branch. Workers can be seen on the roof of the branch although it appears to be open. The building was subsequently destroyed by a flying bomb on 12 July 1944. The image also includes A. Jones & Sons, bootmakers, and Scotch Wool & Hosiery Stores. Image by H. Connold.
