The Peckham Society
The 22nd of June is the 75th anniversary of the sad bombing of the corset factory on the corner of Peckham Rye and Nunhead Lane in June 1944. 22 people, mostly young women, died in this incident. The Peckham Society encourages people to remember the unexpected & terrifying ‘Doodlebug Summer’ in Peckham and Nunhead, seventy five years ago, in June and July 1944. People can visit the commemorative sign that marks the site of this tragedy, designed and written by the Peckham Society. It is also possible to see the density of local bombing in SE15 online:bombsight.org/explore/greater-london/southwark/nunhead/bombsight.org/explore/greater-london/southwark/peckham/ ...
