Also worth knowing
Sourced from a Plymouth Archives catalogue entry (ref AD7/5/1-4) — a caption only. The photographs themselves have not been viewed, so bomb type, casualties and the exact building(s) hit are not yet confirmed. Cookworthy Road (50.3929, -4.1688) and the St Levan's Road gas works site (50.3846, -4.1694) are the other two locations named in the same caption but not separately plotted here.
