Bomb Mapping WWII

[Stephen Gilmore]

Is there a publicly available map showing where bombs were dropped in WWII?

I am aware of such maps in London, but haven't been able to get hold of one for Birmingham. I am particularly interested in what happened in that regard in Edgbaston.

Hi and welcome to Birmingham History Forum. There are a few maps on the internet but are not really corelated and a bit sporadic. Birmingham suffered considerably in the WWII bombings so maybe it’s something we should do on this forum.

I know of this one on the Goosemore Lane History site here

Here's a taster of the reality for Birmingham.

The hugh original map used to be on display in the Birmingham Central Library. Not sure if it is accesible in the Library of Birmingham - worth checking as it's part of our heritage and will certainly have been cafrefully preserved.
