What happened
Plymouth Police photographed air raid damage at St John Street, Exeter Street, the rear of Carlisle Avenue, and St James Place West during Raid 4 of the Blitz.
Also worth knowing
Sourced from a Plymouth Archives catalogue entry (ref AD7/4/1-7) — a caption only. The photographs themselves have not been viewed, so bomb type, casualties and the exact building(s) hit are not yet confirmed; the coordinate is a street-level estimate for Exeter Street, the best-located of the four names given. 'Carlisle Avenue' could not be matched to a present-day Plymouth street (a 'Carlisle Road' exists nearby) — treat that part of the caption as unresolved.
