We all had collections - we had no idea at the time that it was a mark of ware - death and destruction - they were just pretty pieces of pottery. I believe these sites were finally cleared up by the late fifties at the same time that the government made a commitment to end slum dwellings in London. All that good intention leading to the riots in 2024.

OK, it's nothing like the destruction of German cities but bad enough. I don’t think that those of us who were not in London at the time quite realise how much destruction there was.
