Underground Ruins revealed by the blitz in London
Nazi, Bomb Blasts Reveal
Ancient Ruins of London
By ARTHUR D. WHITE
London VP) It's now or never for British archaeologists prob
ing the secrets of ancient London.
They're appealing for $200,000 to finance a rush job on 2,000
years of history uncovered by
German bombs. They must do it I steel grabs will smash deli
cate medieval pottery. Workers'
picks will destroy crumbling
traces of the Roman wall that
shielded the legions of Emperor
Claudius from barbarous Bri
tons. What survives of Roman
Londonium now is buried 12
to 19 feet below the surface..
The history-seekers are racing
against time.
Reconstruction cannot be de
layed. London's future depends
upon it.
The $200,000 the council
seeks is in addition to $12,000
before a new London rises on
the ruins.
The Luftwaffe blasted to bits
the buildings that stood over 50
acres of what formerly was the
old 350-acre walled city. Before
the new steel and concrete giants
go up and their massive found
ations drive deep into the preci
ous, relic-filled soil archaeolo
gists must dig feverishly.
Once the rebuilding starts,
they say, London's buried treas
ure will be lost.
already given by the govern-!
ment and $10,000 from private
donors. The council hopes
American dollars will swell the
fund.
Boss of the excavators is keen
eyed William F. Grimes, di
rector of London Museum.
"In the last two years," he
says proudly, "we've made more
discoveries than in the previous
50. Walls, pottery, bones, coins,
implements of all kinds.
"No city In the world ever
had a better chance to trace its
history. Our aim is to cross
trench every blitz-site."
Main search is in the area east
of St. Paul's dihedral where
acres were flattened by blast
and fire. This region was the
center of Roman London.
In spite of 19 centuries of re
corded existence, the capital'
history is still to a large ex
tent unwritten. Grimes says lots
of questions need answers.
