Edit
Brockley rise 1944 - the road was damaged by V1's and V2's on repeated occasions
As was common across other parts of London, the flying bombs had a tendency to cluster in small areas, resulting in a high degree of damage. The west side of Brockley Road, from Beechcroft to Arabin Road, was severely damaged after five flying bombs fell in this small area.
London SE4 also suffered five V-2 rocket attacks, four of which resulted in serious loss of life. The worst was at Finland Road on 2 February 1945, when 34 people were killed. Other serious incidents occurred at Adelaide Avenue on 17 September (14 dead), Marnock Road on 11 February (14 dead), and Wickham Road on 11 March (9 dead).
Many parts of SE4 were seriously damaged, leaving few buildings intact along the length of Brockley Road, from Crofton Park Station to the northern limit of the postcode past Endwell Road. Other serious incidents occurred just outside the area in SE14 and SE8 (New Cross and Deptford).
The death rate per missile in SE4 was four. Many parts of Brockley still bear the scars of this period. In particular, much post-war development is apparent in the Whitbread Road area. At Adelaide Avenue, a housing estate defines the extent of the blast area, and at Finland Road, Meadowgate School occupies the site.
