What happened
The Singer works had turned from sewing machines to munitions, and its 46-acre site lost over 390,000 square feet of floor space across the two nights. The fire in its timber yard was among the largest of the raids.
Casualty note
No per-site death toll published.
Also worth knowing
No separate grid reference is published for the timber yard, so it is not plotted apart from the factory.
