WW2 Bomb sites in Caterham, Surrey
« on: Friday 03 February 17 13:42 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find out if our road was bombed during WW2. We're not far from Kenley airfield which was very active during the war and locals have mentioned in the past that our row of terraced houses ( in Banstead Rd) suffered bomb damage and had to be rebuilt. Despite visits to local libraries, etc i've not been able to find out much. Any ideas?

Thanks Rosie. I had seen that but It doesn't show my road plus others nearby that I know suffered damage.
