EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard captures a corner of the Spanish Gardens at Derry and Toms, a beloved roof garden nestled in the heart of Kensington High Street, central London, during the aftermath of World War II. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, reveals the damage inflicted upon the iconic bell tower, a cherished landmark that once stood proudly among the lush greenery. The tranquility of the gardens is shattered as the remnants of the once ornate campanile lie in ruins, the result of a 250-pound bomb that struck during the conflict. Despite the devastation, the resilience of Londoners shines through, as the determination to rebuild and restore the beloved Spanish Gardens and its iconic bell tower is evident. This poignant image serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of London during a time of adversity and the enduring beauty of this historic rooftop oasis.
