Pitsmoor Col Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I know the Wicker Arches has bomb damage, but has it any bullet holes? I cant imagine Fighter aircraft coming all the way to Sheffield, but I suppose it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History dude Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I have seen holes in the bridge work and these are said to be bullet holes, but I don't know if it is true. They also hit the station itself as the picture below shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysanderix Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The Luftwaffe bombers were known to have machine gunned ground targets as well as bombing them.I was always led to believe that the damage to the City Hall columns was caused by such machine gunning and not by shrapnel as some people hold.
