Two Bombed Out Churches

In the UK, we have several bombed-out churches from the Second World War. I have post about St. Luke in Liverpool before, which is generally known in the city as the bombed-out church. 

On my weekend trip to Plymouth and Bristol, I came across two more.  First was the Charles Church in Plymouth

Charles Church, Plymouth

If ever there a badly situated ruin, that is a monument to the excesses of town-planning it is this. Surely, they could at least given pedestrians access, but it seems to be unfortunately left in the wrong place by the bombing of the Second World War. 

In some ways, this church sums up Plymouth.  Very disappointing!

And then there was St. Peter’s in Bristol.

The surroundings have been left to show it off properly as a monument to those who died. It also had an information board.

Plymouth could learn a lot from Bristol.
