_ElBee_: This photo was taken sometime after the conclusion of the Battle of Britain. ‘After a German air raid’, there would still have been burning buildings, chaos and carnage while fire brigade and rescue workers did their jobs. The buildings on the photo seem to have been in this state for a while.
