My friends father owned a bike shop in Bromley, Kent during the war. One evening his father and mechanic were just leaving the shop riding maybe 400 yards away and a German bomb landed right on it. It was completly destroyed. He still has a few old bike parts he salvaged from the ruins.The bike shop started in the 1890's. He still has old photos of it. They restarted the shop after the war. I don't know if it is still there. He also has his race bike from the 50's and lots of medals from his raceing days. Cool old stuff.
