It's fascinating and an easy way to spend/waste your time when you really should be doing something else!

I've had trouble loading it on Chrome - keep getting a "404 not found" error, but it worked for me on Firefox.

There's also a warning that it doesn't work with some older versions of IE.

Thank you so much for putting this up, it seems a bomb did hit on what looks to be close to my mums family home , it was Friars Place which was just of the Blackfriars Road, hard to judge exactly as cant see it properly as its hard to move small amounts, but bomb mark as far as can see almost dead on where it would have been, Friars House now site of where it was, do remember next to house was an area that could have been it.

Such a pity that they put it on a modern day map.
My own home/street is not shown because it was obliterated by a couple of HE bombs on 10 May 1941 and many friends were killed.
Address was Delamere Crescent Paddington and can be seen on the Booth Poverty maps.
