From the plaque attached to the wall of the old Nevill Arms public house:
LONDON BOROUGH OF HACKNEY
FIRST BOMB OF WORLD WAR ONE
To fall from a Zeppelin on London
dropped in the garden of
The Nevill Arms public house
30 May 1915
[The Nevill Arms public house is no more, having been turned into a private residence along with so many other of London’s corner pubs. The plaque quoted above remains on the building and the garden where the bomb landed can be glimpsed over a blue hoarding as can be seen in the photograph above. R.D.]
