Lost Bombs of London When the Sunday chosen for the removal of the fuse and bomb arrives!, police cordon off the area of London's West Edit around the bomb. Inspectors from London Transport divert bus services around the danger area. But some dwellers in danger area refuse to move out - they claim that after living through dozens of bomb explosions they have no intention of letting a bomb that failed to explode spoil their family Sunday at home. September 26, 1949. (Photo by Pictorial Press).
