The main offices on 11th August 1943 showing the rebuilding work following the air raid some twenty months earlier. The external structure has now largely been repaired although repairs to the inside are still far from complete. The damage caused to the building by the blast meant that the building needed to be rebuilt for most of its length with only the gable end nearest to the camera appearing to be the least damaged. The distinctive veranda has now been replaced by a balcony with side hand rails.
