en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Sandhurst_Road_SchoolPretty much all of my mum's classmates were killed during this German bombing, my mum survived purely through living near and going home for lunch. My father in law to be was 16 at the time and was one of the first people who rushed to help try and dig out anyone still alive. I exist purely due to my mum's dislike of school food. Fate is fickle.

Catford looks like they still haven't bothered fixing the damage.
