London: Air Raid, 1917


Twisted metal, jagged wood and piles of rubble: the devastating aftermath of an air raid in London.

Scenes of devastation in Paternoster Buildings in the City of London after an air raid, probably courtesy of a military airship. The scene is uncannily similar to footage of the aftermath of WWII Blitz attacks, apart from the occasional horses and carts glimpsed in the background.

Several shopfronts are seen: "John Sharman & Co. Ltd" and "Walter Scott Publishing"
