Manchester Blitz


During the Second World War, Manchester suffered severe bombing.  The worst nights of the blitz were 22/23 December 1940, when over 700 people were killed and 2,500 injured.  Over 100,000 homes in the area were damaged, as well as the Cathedral, the Royal Exchange and the Free Trade Hall.  At one point, the fire, fanned by the wind, was so fierce that buildings were demolished to stop its spread.
