Athy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Judging by the number of gongoozlers [gawping bystanders], something dramatic and unusual, so World War 2 damage could be it. That rather splendid lorry must have been an antique even in the 1940s - can anyone identify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the blitz though this was the first real air raid damage of the war. You can see tin hats and uniforms. The railway ramp and bridge in front of the Sun Inn were unchanged after the war.
