    Manchester Christmas Blitz: Five of the deadliest bomb sites



    Mapped: 1940 Christmas blitz bomb sites in Manchester

    Raids on Manchester[edit]
    Air raids began in August 1940, and in September 1940 the Palace Theatre on Oxford Street was bombed. The heaviest raids occurred on the nights of 22/23 and 23/24 December 1940, killing an estimated 684 people and injuring 2,364.[1] Manchester Cathedral, the Royal Exchange and the Free Trade Hall were among the large buildings damaged. On the night of 22/23 December, 270 aircraft dropped 272 tons of high explosive and 1,032 incendiary bombs; on the second night, 171 aircraft dropped another 195 tons of high explosive and 893 incendiaries.[1] Nazi propaganda claimed that the entire city had been burned to the ground.
