EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image from The Sphere captures the meticulous repair work being carried out on the bomb-damaged Royal College of Physicians, located on Pall Mall East, the northwest corner of Trafalgar Square in London. The photograph was taken in 1947, over seven years after a bomb pierced the iron roof of the building during the Second World War in June 1940. The devastating impact of the explosion is evident in the sketches below the photograph, which depict the damaged lecture hall, main salon, and entrance hall. The intricate scaffolding that now surrounds the historic structure attests to the extensive repairs underway. The Royal College of Physicians, which had opened a century and a half earlier, was a significant institution in the medical community. Its restoration was a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of London in the face of adversity. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of war and the tireless efforts to rebuild and restore in its aftermath.
