Framed Print of The Central Telegraph Office in London through which more than a quarter of the total
The Central Telegraph Office in London through which more than a quarter of the total telegraph traffic of Britain passed, was totally destroyed by fire on the night of 29th - 30th December, 1940 following heavy intensive bombing by the German Luftwaffe over East London in what came to be known as the Second Great Fire of London.
Incendiary bombs which hit the building were put out by Post Office fire-fighters, but due to failure of the water supply, blazing debris from adjoining premises defeated the firefighters and only some apparatus and instruments were saved.
Within three weeks however, the service was fully restored in alternative accommodation.
