There was a TV play made about it in 1975. I remember seeing it.
It was called "Its A Lovely Day Tomorrow" by Bernard Kops. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072517/.
Lovely post. Thank you.
Those inverted stairs make a haunting memorial. It reminds me in a way of the some of the work of Rachel Whiteread, in particular her piece "House" and which I also liked, for similar reasons.
For the record, there's also an anniversary as regards "House" inasmuch as it is now 20 years since that was made, in nearby Bow (Grove Road).
Poignant reminder of such a tragic event.
Great post.
It's good to see that there is finally be a substantial monument to commemorate this tragic event. I hope the funding is eventually found to complete it.
A few years ago I read on an archive website that there were horrendous numbers of people killed or injured in road accidents during the the blackout - also not made generally known until decades after the war.
Have you read "The Report" by Jessica Francis Kane?
Probably, depending on how you count it, London's worst ever single disaster (as distinct from e.g.epidemics) - certainly worse then the Harrow train crash a few years later, which is the only other rail-related disaster in England to kill more than 100 people.

Of course it should be marked, (lon overdue indeed) and the artists' impressions look very fitting. But will it really cost that much to complete? Presumably all the design work has already been done and paid for.
Such a pity ITV London couldn't be bothered to cover Sunday's memorial. It was too interested in the Queen's stay in hospital, which some might argue was more of a national story particularly as the same crew covered it for the national ITV News ten minutes later.
