What is recorded here
This green commemorative plaque records: On Good Friday 11th April 1941 this tramline was thrown over the adjoining houses by a high explosive bomb which fell on Redcliffe Hill. It is left to remind us how narrowly the church escaped destruction in the war 1939-1945.
The Redcliffe Hill bombing during World War II on April 11, 1941, resulted in significant damage to the area, including displacing tramlines; it serves as a reminder of the close escape of nearby structures, particularly churches, from destruction during the war.
