Civil Defence wardens and a member of the American Ambulance Great Britain search amongst rubble and timbers for salvageable items following a devastating V1 attack in Upper Norwood.  In the foreground, a bent piece of guttering and spikes of timber dominate the scene.  To the right of the photograph, a salvaged headboard or over-mantel mirror can be seen.  The houses on the opposite side of the street (just visible to the right and in the background) have lost their roofs and windows.
