Firefighters at night
Firefighters at night
The drama of John W. Mills' memorial sculpture 'Blitz' heightened by the cloudy night sky. It was originally intended as a tribute to those "heroes with grimy faces" who saved so many lives during the wartime bombing of London on 57 consecutive nights. More recently (1991) it was moved from its earlier location in Old Change Court to here on the corner of Sermon Lane, to become a national memorial to all firefighters who have died in the course of duty. 1192 names were added to the plinth.
