A V2 rocket incident show-ing clearing operations
and damage done to Lambeth Baths and adjoining
buildings in Morton Place, 4th January 1945.
The V2 rocket campaign lasted from late 1944
until January 1945. Only two V2s fell in the
borough, but their one ton warheads, together
with their arrival without warning, did considerable
damage.
The baths were built in 1897, at a time when
few homes in the area had hot water or baths.
The building, therefore, was an important
facility for the local community.
