TM5493 : Lowestoft WW2 Air Raid memorial stone by Helen Steed
At 1627 hours on Tuesday 13 Jan 1942, a low flying Dornier Do 217 flying through a snowstorm dropped 4 large HE (high-explosive) bombs in London Road North, Lowestoft. Waller's Restaurant was full of service personnel at tea and within seconds the whole row of shops and premises had been reduced to a huge pile of rubble. Twelve people were rescued from beneath the rubble but 70 died and over 150 were injured in Lowestoft's blackest day of the war.
In 1992, the Jack Rose Old Lowestoft Society (JROLS) raised funds for a memorial to the civilian war dead in Lowestoft. It was one of the late Jack Rose's long held ambitions to honour those who died in air raids on the town and this was the culmination of his and the society's efforts. The memorial was originally located on London Road North near to Marks & Spencer's but was moved in 2005 to a wall adjacent to Savers in The Marina.

TQ4581 : Barking Creek Barrier from Tripcock Ness by Marathon
This view looks across the Thames from Tripcock Ness on the Thames Path at Thamesmead towards Barking Creek Barrier. The Barrier is where the River Roding flows into the Thames and the Roding is tidal for a little way upriver. The scene is lit up by the late afternoon sun on the first day of 2019.

It was on the river here just off Tripcock Ness that the pleasure steamer Princess Alice sank on the evening of Tuesday 3rd September 1878 in the greatest tragedy ever seen on the Thames. It had been sliced in two by the Bywell Castle, a coal ship. Only 69 out of the 700 passengers survived. Thousands of people attended the mass funeral of 120 of the victims held at Woolwich Old Cemetery on Monday 9th September - see Link
